That previous wave of restrictions came after President Barack Obama’s first election victory, which set turnout records at the time, particularly among Black and minority communities.AdvertisementAdvertisementThat is clear by the push to eliminate no-excuse absentee voting, which Republicans dominated until 2018.“We are seeing policies targeted that didn’t ruffle any feathers until they were used by communities of color,” Pérez said.AdvertisementAdvertisementAbsentee and mail-in voting are the most common targets of laws restricting voter access advancing in states after the 2020 election. The For The People Act forbids states from restricting voter access to mail voting, including forbidding the requirement of identification and witnesses or notarization and setting standards for states that require signature matching that provide voters a chance to correct signature mismatch errors. The bill would also set baseline rules for the operation of ballot drop boxes and require states to include prepaid postage on ballot return envelopes.AdvertisementAdvertisementSuggest a correctionNewsletter Sign UpHuffPost's top politics stories, straight to your inbox.Successfully Subscribed!Realness delivered to your inbox
