Here are some of our ongoing investigations:
From the influence of voting-machine company lobbyists to concerns about election vulnerability, we’re investigating Georgia’s overhaul of its voting system. https://www.americanoversight.org/investigation/georgias-voting-machines-and-election-security
Wisconsin has been at the front line of attempts to remove names from registered voter rolls. We’re fighting for transparency regarding the effort by state officials to purge more than 200,000 names from the rolls before the 2020 election. https://www.americanoversight.org/investigation/wisconsins-voter-roll-purge
Earlier this month In Florida, a federal appeals court ruled that Floridian ex-felons must pay all fines and fees before they can register to vote, blocking hundreds of thousands from voting. We’ve been investigating. https://www.americanoversight.org/investigation/restoration-of-voting-rights-in-florida
We've uncovered documents that show that Florida has no way of tracking those fines and fees. https://twitter.com/weareoversight/status/1304519986438905856
In New Hampshire, we’re advocating for transparency surrounding New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu’s decision to veto the creation of an independent redistricting commission. https://www.americanoversight.org/investigation/outside-interference-in-new-hampshire-redistricting-reform
We’re also investigating outside influences on voter suppression efforts. When state officials enact strict voter-ID laws or engineer intricately gerrymandered electoral maps or purge thousands of names from voter rolls, they’re not acting alone. https://www.americanoversight.org/investigation/state-government-contacts-with-voting-restriction-activists
Often, outside groups have been working behind the scenes to promote measures designed to suppress the vote. We’re investigating communications that members of the Florida, Georgia & Texas state governments have had with “voter fraud” activists & legislative lobbying groups.
Finally, state “voter fraud” task forces have cropped up across the country. Behind language about ensuring fair elections, the groups use the specter of widespread voter fraud to undermine confidence in elections and dissuade people from voting. https://www.americanoversight.org/investigation/election-fraud-task-forces-and-the-threat-of-voter-intimidation
