ICYMI: Election Protection Leadership Workshop with the DNC and DC Democrats

If you missed the Democratic Convention workshop on Election Protection, you can view it here.

On Saturday, June 12th, as a part of the DC Democrats’ State Convention, national and local leaders convened to discuss what we have accomplished, where we are going, and how you can get involved.

You can view the OCT broadcast of the workshop here and the Plenary Session of the Convention here.

“Election Protection in the Age of Obama: Why it Still Matters”
The Democratic National Committee has considered voter protection to be critically important for many years, and the 2008 presidential election saw an unprecedented effort to ensure that every eligible citizen could cast their ballot. This work is equally important in 2010 and beyond, in part because many of the President’s supporters belong to those populations that are typically disenfranchised: young voters, mobile voters, minority voters, older voters, and inexperienced voters. Midterm elections are especially significant, because lower turnout means that every vote can make more of a difference, and because maintaining control in Congress helps supports President Obama’s agenda. Expanding access to voting and making voting easier and more reliable for all will continue to be a systemic focus of the national party into the future.
