So what’s next?

When we talk about voter suppression, this is what we mean. Having more people vote should not be a partisan issue. If your party can't win elections on policy and has to resort to gerrymandering and voter suppression to win seats, then maybe you should change your policies to better match the larger public interest. Here is what your Iowa senate is up to:

Iowa HF2486

Banning the Secretary of State from sending out Absentee Ballot Requests –

Republican Roby Smith has decided to take a bill relating to the design and use of county seals and turn it into a tool to suppress voting. For the 2020 primary Iowa’s Secretary of State, Paul Pate, mailed out absentee ballot requests to Iowans and we had the largest number of primary voters in the history of Iowa. The current change doesn’t allow the Secretary of State to mail Absentee Ballot Requests and restricts elected county auditors when they are trying to fill in missing information when they receive forms. This is a form of voter suppression and let your legislators know this is bad for voters.
