Question about project 2025

Does it change voting rights, gerrymandering, and voter ID laws?

Answer

"Project 2025" does not mention changing voting rights, or even gerrymandering. This is notable because the platform authors advocate for restricting or dismantling government agencies like the Department of Justice, which often oversees and enforces voting rights. As such, they may be taking the position that a weakened justice department is enough to undermine voting rights, even if it's not explicit. It's highly likely that they would like to implement something like a voter ID law to disproportionately prevent people of color and disabled people from voting. This, combined with efforts to disband and weaken various agencies, could put an entire election cycle into question. This, on its own, is terrifying, but as a reminder, the platform also aims to take away access to many vital government programs and cut taxes for wealthy people while also enacting other laws designed to make people of color feel unwelcome, like disbanding the Office of Environmental Justice. "Project 2025" aims to limit voter access, and likely would enact stricter voting ID laws.
