Vote for the Vote is a vote donation program for the 2012 US presidential elections. Vote for the Vote helps registered voters give away their votes to individuals who have been robbed of right to vote by state laws restricting access to the polls.
Millions of Americans will be unable to cast their ballots this election season because of state laws that make voting difficult or impossible for certain groups of people. In the swing state of Florida alone over 1.5 million people are unable to vote because of these laws. Nationwide, 13% of African Americans have lost the right to vote, and in several states that number is as high as 20%.
Some of these laws take away your right to vote if you have a criminal conviction for any one of a wide range of offenses. Other laws just make voting very burdensome if you live in a rural area, or are poor, or elderly, or disabled. These include strict voter identification rules and registration deadlines, as well as restrictions on absentee voting and early voting.
If you question the legitimacy of an electoral process that systematically excludes whole segments of the population, if you feel that none of the presidential candidates represent you or your values, or if you just want to stand in friendship and solidarity with someone whose political voice has by silenced by the government, Vote for the Vote this November!
