Online Petition Opposes Restrictive Voter Registration Rules in Ohio
People For the American Way Foundation has put out an alert asking for signatures on a petition to Ohio's Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review to reject voter registration regulations that "effectively prevent many nonpartisan civic engagement groups from conducting voter registration activities there. The clear victims of these rules are the members of marginalized groups who are often the focus of registration campaigns. This is voter suppression, plain and simple."
The committee meets to vote on Monday, June 26. The online petition is at http://www.pfaw.org/go/OHsuppression
