[Peace] Voting Rights Vigil Aug 6

[Debra Schrishuhn]

Good morning.

Central IL chapter of Progressive Democrats of America is sponsoring a
Voting Rights Vigil at Rodney Davis' office on August 6 at noon as part of
a nationwide effort to "shine a light on voting rights." The Voting Rights
Act was passed 54 years ago. In 2013 the Supreme Court essentially gutted
it with the Shelby County v. Holder decision. Most recently, Rep. Davis
voted against HR 2272, the SAFE Act, addressing election security through
grant programs and requirements for voting systems and paper ballots. Sen.
McConnell refuses to bring any election security bills to the  Senate floor
for a vote (turns out he gets lots of money from electronic voting machine
manufacturers).

Champaign County finally has a County Clerk who is interested in increasing
and expanding voting locally. Join us at noon to express your support for
voting rights and get pumped up for canvassing, phonebanking, and other
activities to elect even more Democrats (hopefully progressive ones) in
Champaign County and beyond.
