A few hundred noncitizen votes are a national scandal. But when states reject hundreds of thousands of ballots from eligible voters, it’s business as usual
One state rejected ballots because some voters failed to include their mother’s maiden name on the back of the return envelope.

“They told us voting is a privilege, not a right.” That’s what I heard from students at North Carolina A&T who are fighting to protect access to the ballot. These young leaders are organizing, speaking out, and refusing to let anyone take their power — and I am so proud of them.
