Election Day is this Tuesday. Around the country, people will be casting their ballots for important gubernatorial and local elections. But there will undoubtedly be some in Texas and Virginia who aren’t able to exercise their democratic right to vote—all because of a set of laws designed to discriminate and suppress.
Voter suppression tactics are happening all around the country, denying us the fair and free elections that make America great. It’s up to us to expose these dirty tactics, on Election Day and every day.
But we can’t do it alone. Tonight is our deadline, we only have $2,000 left to raise.
Help us reach our goal.
We’ll be reporting on what happens on the ground on Tuesday, tracking down cases of voter suppression wherever they might occur. And as we gear up for the even bigger elections of 2014, we’ll be making sure that politicians are held accountable when they seek to make our elections less free.
No one should be denied a chance to vote.
Pitch in and help us reach our goal of $15,000 so we can keep tracking voter suppression.
Democracy doesn’t happen when one person stands up and speaks. It happens when we all work together to ensure a representative democracy.
Donate now.
Thank you,
Neera Tanden Counselor to the Center for American Progress Action Fund

You may have heard that Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson is now up for re-election. His office was gracious enough to allow our team to present facts from Kirstin Blaise Lobato’s case in hopes that the Innocence Project would be allowed to pay for DNA testing and retesting of 13 pieces of currently untested evidence.

Unfortunately, despite the fact that all of the DNA from the crime scene that has been tested was proven to be from an unidentified man, Wolfson’s team continues to believe that Kirstin is guilty and does not believe DNA testing is necessary.

Will you reach out to DA Wolfson and his office and share your thoughts? We want to make sure it is understood that the opportunity for discussion was deeply appreciated, but justice has not been done in this case.

Please be respectful in your correspondence and send us a copy of your letter or a transcript of your call to justice4kirstin@gmail.com.

Contact DA Wolfson’s re-election campaign to express your concern about the lack of DNA testing in the Kirstin Blaise Lobato case.
