Issue Position: Voting Rights

Issue Position

Eliminate voter ID, including voter proof of citizenship, laws - and provide resources to ensure fair access by diverse populations: these laws only serve to disenfranchise populations, including minorities, immigrants, and indigent populations. Instead, we should pass laws to increase access, like increased language access, provisions for seniors and persons with disabilities to vote without wait, etc.

​​

Ensure that the Census accurately accounts all groups: in 2020, I will work within the community to ensure that the census -- which will determine critical questions for the next 10 years, like electoral districts, funding for communities, etc. -- fairly counts all groups.​​

​

Help elect progressive Democrats: in 2020 and beyond, I will also work, particularly through voter engagement of immigrant and minority voters, to help elect Democrats for so many critical seats at the federal, state, and local level, and help turn Georgia "blue": President, Senate (two open seats), House (District 7), Gwinnett County Chair, County Sheriff, and many other state & local seats.

​

Ensure fairness in political representation: implement non-partisan commission to draw electoral districts, to eliminate political and racial gerrymandering that disenfranchise certain populations and dilute their ability to elect their candidates of choice.
