The Fight Over Voter ID Laws Goes To The United Nations

The Fight Over Voter ID Laws Goes To The United Nations

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced it will appear before the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva next week to seek support for its fight against voter identification laws enacted in U.S. states.

The civil rights organization says the laws are among several measures adopted by some states that violate the human and civil rights of minority voters by suppressing their participation in elections.


looking over the Human Rights Council list it seems that many have Voter ID requirements. One member country doesn't currently allow women the right to vote. Call me a sceptic but I am doubting they will be sympathetic
