The ongoing Repub project is centered around the idea of wanting fewer people, not casting votes for Repubs, to be able to cast their votes at all. This, instead of persuading those voters to vote for them.
A key provision of the Civil Rights Act protects voters nationwide from being disenfranchised over innocent and minor accidental ballot mistakes. Republicans seem bothered by this reality, litigating against parties seeking to enforce the provision in a multitude of court cases throughout the country.
Dating back 60 years to the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the Materiality Provision states that “[n]o person acting under color of law shall…deny the right of any individual to vote in any election because of an error or omission…if such error or omission is not material in determining whether such individual is qualified.”
In practice, the provision seeks to ensure that well-intended voters aren’t disenfranchised over small issues that are irrelevant to a voter’s eligibility. The most common areas of concern involve signatures, incorrect or missing dates, other omissions on mail-in ballots and ballots missing an outer return envelope.
