Lauren Kunis, President and CEO of VoterRiders, joins Deepak Puri, Founder of The Democracy Labs, to discuss the wave of new and stricter voter ID laws sweeping the country. She shares her personal story and how VoteRiders has played an increasingly crucial role in building a more informed and active electorate. Lauren points out that a significant number of Americans lack proper identification, and their mission is to provide free assistance to help citizens obtain the necessary documents to vote, which are also often required to access housing, banking, and employment.
Deepak and Lauren talk about
- Voter suppression tactics to confuse and cheat
- Restrictive voter ID laws and the range of variations across states
- Helping voters get up-to-date government-issued photo IDs
- Why voting rights protect all other rights
