Democracy Forum: America’s “Midterm Crisis”: Defending Democracy at the Ballot Box

Описание: Since 2020, many legislators have attempted to sow doubt regarding election integrity. As midterm elections draw near, democracy faces perhaps the biggest challenge to its stability and enduring legacy. Using the Big Lie as a pretense, local politicians introduced 126 bills in 28 states that affect absentee voting, registration policies, polling stations, and ID requirements. These measures disproportionately affect people of color and limit the options citizens use to exercise their right to vote.

To continue the fight for democracy, MPAC hosted a forum with Representative Ron Reynolds, Texas State Rep District 27, Christian Menefee, Harris, TX County Attorney and Chris Hollins, former County Clerk of Harris County, TX for a conversation moderated by MPAC President, Salam Al-Marayati, focused on the implications of this year's midterm cycle in protecting American democracy.
