Fight voter suppression, restore the rights of our voting majorities!


Welcome to MajorityRights, Reddit's home for discussion, activism, and organizing to fight voter suppression. Help us protect the voting rights of all Americans!


Subreddit rules:

  1. This subreddit is for discussion of voter suppression only. Anything else may be removed.

  2. No racism, sexism, anti-semitism, or other bigotry will be allowed.

  3. Trolling-type behavior that contributes nothing to civil discussion will not be tolerated. People engaging in that behavior will be given one warning at most.

  4. Repeating the sort of behavior that one has been warned about results in being banned. A warning before being banned is not necessary. Never expect more than one warning.


Voting rights are under attack nationwide as states pass voter suppression laws. These laws lead to significant burdens for eligible voters trying to exercise their most fundamental constitutional right. Since 2008, states across the country have passed measures to make it harder for Americans—particularly black people, the elderly, students, and people with disabilities—to exercise their fundamental right to cast a ballot. These measures include cuts to early voting, voter ID laws, and purges of voter rolls.
