Exposing the War on Voting Since 2000.
Fair elections is a non-partisan issue. But ever since the 2000 U.S. election, voting itself has become a political issue, with attacks on our access to the ballot box while at the same time questioning the legitimacy of American elections. This site provides extensive documentary evidence so that you can get the facts about how voter suppression became a go-to campaign tactic and how Big Money gamed the courts to strike down many of the campaign finance laws put in place after Watergate.
