Former President of the Colorado State Senate and Obama Administration Official Peter Groff moderated this timely discussion with our esteemed guests, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, Denver Clerk & Recorder Paul Lopez, and Voting Rights Advocate Polly Baca.
State Legislatures have introduced at least 361 bills with restrictive voting provisions in 47 states in the first quarter of 2021.* These bills seek: limited absentee and early voting eligibility, stricter voter ID requirements, higher hurdles for voter registration, and expanded voter roll purges. Historically, such policies have disproportionately impacted marginalized communities, particularly people of color. (*Brennan Center for Justice)
Discussion is centered around recent developments, Colorado's leadership in expanding voter access through its election and redistricting process, and more. Attendees are requested to bring an open mind, a respectful heart, and questions.
