1 FREE THE VOTE A Progressive Agenda to Protect and Expand the Right to Vote presented at the 2013 Progressive Mass Policy Conference
2 National Context What Happened in 2012?
3 Action/Reaction 2008: record turnout of people of color and young people 2010: record number of vote suppression laws introduced in state legislatures
4 Vote Suppression Laws 19 states enacted laws designed to shrink the electorate Photo Id Restrictions on Registration Drives Cutbacks to Early Voting New Barriers to Re-enfranchisement of Ex- Felons Attempts to Eliminate SDR
5 Did Vote Suppression Work? Some bad laws delayed or struck down by DOJ or courts in several states Voters fought back against ballot initiatives SDR in Maine, Photo ID in Minnesota But, cutbacks to early voting and other problems led to long lines & disenfranchisement Retrenchment efforts continue in 2013 NC, MT, AR, VA
6 2012 Problems in Massachusetts Good news: no new vote suppression measures enacted here Bad news: MA voting laws so antiquated that the status quo means vote suppression 32 states have early voting; not MA 11 states plus DC have SDR; not MA 41 states have online tools to look up voter registration status and find current polling place; not MA
7 2012 Problems in Massachusetts, con t Long lines and delays in Boston, Worcester and Springfield: 2-3 hours in some places Confusion about where people are supposed to vote; Election Protection received 2500 calls from people needing help to locate their polling place In Springfield, 3 polling places ran out of ballots by mid-morning. Boston also had precincts that ran out of ballots.
8 We have to fix that
9 We have to fix [what?] Focus: The Voter Registration Barrier
10 Eligible but Unregistered: 51 Million One in four eligible persons Disproportionately low income, people of color and young voters
11 Eligible Unregistered Voters in the 2008 Election
12 Turnout of Voting Age Population in 2008 election
13 Massachusetts figures MA voter registration rate: slightly higher than national rate: 68.6% in 2010, compared to national rate of 65.1% But just looking at the overall registration rate is misleading, because there may be huge gaps in voter registration rates of specific groups. Source: 2011 Massachusetts Civic Health Index
14 Massachusetts Registration Gaps Registration Gap = 18.7% Source: U.S. Census Current Population Survey Subgroup figures may have large margin of error
15 Massachusetts Registration Gaps Registration Gap = 25% Source: U.S. Census Current Population Survey Subgroup figures may have large margin of error
16 Modernizing Voter Registration Gov t takes active role to ensure eligible persons get registered to vote, instead of placing entire burden on individuals to overcome hurdles to registration Once a voter is registered, a change of address does not require the voter to start over again; the new address is updated automatically for the voter rolls If an eligible person cannot be found on the voter roll on Election Day, or simply did not register in advance, he/she can register at polling place and cast a regular ballot These opportunities are available to all eligible voters, not only to those with a pre-existing drivers license and signature on file with RMV
17 PUBLIC AGENCY REGISTRATION
18 National Voter Registration Act Enacted in 1993; goal of increasing number of eligible persons registered to vote State agencies that serve the public RMV, public assistance offices, disability offices must provide voter registration services RMV registration got institutionalized fairly well, but registration at public assistance offices dropped off dramatically after initial implementation.
19 Decline in Public Agency Registrations 80% decline
20 Public Assistance Agency Registrations in MA Only 2,000 registration applications at public assistance offices % of clients had not received voter registration services Lawsuit filed May 2012; DTA agreed to mail postage-paid voter registration applications to past clients 31,500 low-income people sent in voter registration applications prior to election Lawsuit still pending
21 Ohio
22 SAME DAY REGISTRATION
23 States with SDR Since the 1970s: Maine, Minnesota, Wisconsin Since the 1990s: Idaho, New Hampshire, Wyoming Since 2006: Iowa, Montana, North Carolina, District of Columbia, Connecticut, California
24 Turnout & Same Day Registration
25 How Many Used Same Day Registration in 2008?
26 Same Day Registration Helps Geographically Mobile Populations Over 36 million people moved between 2011 and 2012 Nearly half of those moving had low incomes Young adults of all income levels move more frequently Allowing young people to register to vote on Election Day could increase youth turnout in presidential elections by as much as 14 percentage points Source: Demos, Same Day Registration Factsheet, Feb 2013
27 Same Day Registration Benefits Communities of Color In 2008, nearly 250,000 people used SDR in North Carolina African Americans comprised 36% of those who used Same Day Registration, although African Americans comprised only 20% of the voting age population Source: Demos, Same Day Registration Factsheet, Feb 2013
28 SDR Reduces the Need for Provisional Ballots After SDR was adopted in Iowa, provisional ballots dropped from 15,000 in the 2004 presidential election to less than 5,000 in 2008 a 67 percent decline. North Carolina saw 23,000 fewer provisional ballots after it adopted SDR in Source: Demos, Same Day Registration Factsheet, Feb 2013
29 OTHER REFORMS Early Voting No Excuse Absentee Voting Pre-registration of 16 and 17-year-olds Permanent/portable registration Polling place and registration look-up and other voter tools Online registration Ending prison-based gerrymandering
30 PENDING LEGISLATION S.327 (Senator Finegold): Annual training of town clerks and election directors; online registration using signature from RMV; preregistration of 16 year olds; on-line registration look-up; early voting one week, ending day before election; post-election audits Does NOT include SDR Will be heard in Election Committee April 3
31 What about SDR? S.325 (Senator Eldridge); S.314 (Senator Creem), H.579 (Reps Fox/Benson): all include Election Day Registration Will be heard in Election Committee November 20. Petition to ask Committee to add SDR to the election reform bill
32 Prison Gerrymandering S.309 (Senator Chang-Diaz); H.3185 (Rep. Forry): Resolution asking Census Bureau to tabulate incarcerated person at their home address Will be heard in Election Committee March 27.
