Something about being in DC makes me want to post on Twitter, only to be reminded that I’m creating content on an Elon Musk-owned platform. So, 👋🏻 Bluesky.

Voting-rights groups announce national expansion to reach underrepresented communities The Voter Participation Center and the Center for Voter Information are expanding their work in an effort to get more eligible but unregistered Americans at the voting booth. BY KEELY QUINLAN AUGUST 21, 2025 Two nonprofit, nonpartisan voting-rights organizations are expanding their efforts to register more voters, using data from public and commercial sources to target their work. Over the next two months, the groups, the Voter Participation Center and the Center for Voter Information, said they will send voter registration applications to more than 4.7 million eligible but unregistered Americans. The groups told StateScoop they plan to conduct additional digital outreach and follow-up mailings leading into the 2026 midterm elections. The efforts will be focused on registering those often underrepresented in the voting process, such as people of color, young people and unmarried women. Tom Lopach, the Voter Participation Center’s chief executive, said the groups’ expanded effort to register voters was deemed necessary in light of the Trump administration’s attacks on voting access. He said the expansion is also driven by work the center did comparing voter turnout data from the 2024 general election to monthly census numbers. “What we’ve noticed for a number of years is progress on voter registration in underrepresented communities has been somewhat stagnant, and that in 2024, voter turnout from the communities we serve — people of color, young people and unmarried women — have reduced compared to 2022 and to 2020,” Lopach said. “So, knowing that our goal is to create an even playing field and help underrepresented populations participate in our elections, we knew it was time to run our programs nationally.”

Every morning Rosie, a volunteer on Sylvester Turner’s 2015 Houston mayoral campaign, messages me a gif and well wishes for the day. There’s no better crop of people than Dem volunteers.

It's the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, and two things are true at once: The law has never been more under threat, and it's more important than ever to fight for its promise of an equal voice for every citizen.

This week, VPC’s President and CEO, Tom Lopach, spoke to StateScoop about the negative effects the SAVE Act would have on election workers and the voters, and the harmful myth of “non-citizen voting.”
