NAACP Launches Midterm Voter Protection Hub as Trump Pushes New Voting Rules

1 articles · Updated · The Washington Post · Oct 6

The NAACP is setting up a voter protection hub ahead of the midterm elections, expanding its election-rights operation amid concerns voters could face new barriers at the polls.
That stepped-up effort is driven by President Donald Trump’s push to change voting rules and by fears his administration could interfere with ballot access.
The group said it has long run election protection programs, but is putting extra emphasis on them this year as the legal and political environment hardens.
A Supreme Court decision weakening the Voting Rights Act has already fueled gerrymandering that split up majority-Black congressional districts, sharpening the broader stakes for voting-rights advocates.
