Is voter suppression worth reporting on? If yes, read on.

The Institute has a long track record of investigating and exposing threats to democracy and voting rights: Our series on North Carolina's 2008 primary elections led to the largest penalties to date for illegal robo-calling.

This year, we have already reported on the control exercised over many campaigns by funding from individuals, including Art Pope in North Carolina, and corporations, such as these heavy polluters. We are also dedicated to uncovering instances of voter intimidation and voter suppression such as this story in Texas, where comments by the local Tea Party are scaring both registered and unregistered voters, making them less likely to come out on election day. However, we cannot provide these kind of hard-hitting stories without your support. Please donate to ISS to enable us to continue our reporting on election scandal.

We at ISS believe in every citizen’s right to vote, and we believe that individuals, corporations, and political groups that infringe on that right are threats to American democracy. If you share these beliefs, support our efforts by donating whatever amount you can spare.

Help us to expose these wrongdoers by donating to the Institute for Southern Studies and allowing us to keep doing what we do best: providing truthful, poignant investigative reporting on issues that matter.

Visit our causes page on Facebook to donate, and please encourage your friends and family to do the same.

Don’t forget to vote!
