2012 Election Protection Project - In Ohio, Obama for America helped gather over 300,000 signatures, successfully blocking Republican efforts to restrict early voting. In Wisconsin, efforts are focusing on voter education to counter the state's new Voter ID law, which bars students from using their college IDs when voting.
By this spring, the Obama re-election campaign will mount what Mr. Bauer called an unprecedented "voter protection" effort, fielding thousands of volunteers in battleground states to help navigate new election laws, months earlier than past efforts. "We will look at what the state has done, look for ways to counter it, through litigation sometimes, through administrative interpretation sometimes.
The DSCC launched the 2012 Election Protection Project to help Democrats.
"We’re leading the effort to prevent this attempt to change the outcome of the 2012 elections," Cecil says. "In Florida, the DSCC formally requested that the Department of Justice do what it could to stop this. We’re also keeping these developments in mind as we build our campaign strategy.
Cecil casts Democrats as David in this fight against Goliath, saying the wealthy Koch brothers and their corporate allies bankroll the American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC, the little-seen but powerful conservative organization that has pushed these voter-suppression measures.
