This is the third video in the “State Voting Rights Acts: Explained” video series created by the Center for American Progress and the Legal Defense Fund.

Part of a Series

This video is a collaboration between the Center for American Progress and the Legal Defense Fund.

This is the third video in the “State Voting Rights Acts: Explained” video series created by the Center for American Progress and the Legal Defense Fund (LDF). In this video, Rebecca Mears, former director of Democracy at CAP, and Sean Morales-Doyle, director of the Voting Rights Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, discuss how state voting rights acts can protect voters and election officials from harassment and intimidation. These legislative protections not only keep individual participants safe but also defend the sanctity of U.S. elections.

The positions of American Progress, and our policy experts, are independent, and the findings and conclusions presented are those of American Progress alone. A full list of supporters is available here. American Progress would like to acknowledge the many generous supporters who make our work possible.
