Following up on Jim’s point, when we have done groups on this, we find very high emotion directed against Republicans when voters understand their motivation.   Jim’ point that voter fraud just isn’t an issue – as determined by multiple independent non-partisan scientific studies – allows voters to conclude that their laws are being pursued for partisan advantage.  That angers independent voters (and all voters) who view the right to vote as sacrosanct, and believe that we should be making voting easier not harder, as long as there are checks.

Dan,
I know this may already be cooked, but I think it would help to note that the actions of the republicans aren’t in response to a problem, because no problem exists.  Study after study certifies that there is virtually no voting fraud in America.   So if there is no fraud, their only motivation in pushing these new laws is discouraging certain people from voting. That’s an attack on the very underpinnings of our government.

Subject: Voting Rights Speech

Team, here's a draft speech on voting rights for the Barbara Jordan event in Texas on Thursday.  Robby asked for extra emphasis on young voters, which you'll see in here. You'll also see our first hits on individual Republican candidates by name.
Please send me any edits or suggestions.
Thanks
Dan
