Additionally, they will cover what voters need to know to continue to vote under the new laws.   Voting Law and Overcoming Barriers to Entry (0.75 hr) Democracy is intended to be an inclusive process, but for many, the barriers to the ballot box seek to exclude them. Allison Riggs and Mitchell Brown will explore how advocacy can be utilized to lower these barriers to the ballot box, so that Democracy returns to an inclusionary state.   Voting Litigation and Pending Decisions/Legislation (0.75 hr) Join Georgina Yeomans and Mahogane Reed as they focus on state trends and voting litigation in the south.    If you cannot watch the entire webcast at its scheduled time, register now and view the recording and eCourse when it is available in “Your Briefcase” after the webcast.
