Nothing is more central to United States citizenship than an individual's right to vote. Right now, the vote is under attack on multiple fronts. Post office systems are being disabled, polling places reduced in number, and broad disinformation campaigns are underway. Civil rights leaders are pushing back against these changes urgently. In 2020, it’s a fight to vote.

In this latest entry in Kepler's This Is Now series, voting experts Gilda Daniels and Myrna Pérez delve into those issues and more, from your individual vote to gerrymandering, voting rights for formerly incarcerated citizens, and voter ID legislation.

Professor Gilda Daniels is a voting rights expert and former Deputy Chief in the U.S. Dept. of Justice Civil Rights Division, Voting Section. She served in both the Clinton and Bush administrations and is currently a professor of law at the University of Baltimore Law School. She is also the Director of Litigation for Advancement Project’s National Office, and the author of UNCOUNTED: Voter Suppression in the United States. The book is a must-read for 2020.

Myrna Pérez is director of the Brennan Center's Voting Rights and Elections Program, leading the Program's research, advocacy, and litigation work nationwide. Her work has been featured in media outlets across the country, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and MSNBC. She has testified before Congress and several state legislatures on a variety of voting rights related issues. She is a lecturer in law at Columbia Law School and has also served as an adjunct professor of clinical law at NYU School of Law.
