Spread The Vote

Simply put, a voter ID law is any regulation requiring that a voter furnish proof of identity in order to cast a ballot in an election. As of 2016, over 30 states require some form of identification at the polls. On the surface, these laws seem like common sense, but a closer look reveals that they do more harm than good. Currently, about 11% of voting age Americans (that’s over 21 million people) lack a government-issued ID – 13% of African-Americans, 10% of Hispanics, and 5% of whites. Our goal is to help every single American, no matter their background or party affiliation, obtain the identification they need to participate in our democracy. We work directly in states with ID laws to help voters through every phase of the process. Our focus at STV is not on advocating for change in the laws. Nor are we helping voters circumvent them. We simply want to make it as easy as possible for Americans to follow the laws. We believe voting is the sacred right of every American, and every American should be able to exercise it.
