Question about project 2025
How will Project 2025 affect voting rights?
Answer
The platform focuses more on eroding rights protections than enacting new regulations. Project 2025 will mainly work to undo existing protections that have been implemented to make society a more equitable place. One can assume they are primarily concerned with stripping away protections against racial discrimination than creating new laws on voting rights. Some examples include getting rid of funding and protections for the Department of Education and allowing voter suppression to return in some places. There is likely an effort to change our election system, in ways that take the United States back to a time when women or people of color could not vote.
