Dear John,

Anti-voter proponents in California have begun the legal process to put an onerous, unnecessary ID requirement on the ballot in 2026. We expect signature gathering to start Oct. 1, and we need to act NOW to raise awareness of the dangerous outcomes of this ballot measure.

This is a great time to support VoteRiders because every gift will be DOUBLED by our matching donor. Be sure to make a gift today, before this matching opportunity ends!

EVERY GIFT — DOUBLED! >> [link removed]

If this 2026 ballot initiative (as opposed to the 2025 one regarding redistricting) succeeds in California, it would devastate the state’s longstanding democratic process with two dangerous voter suppression measures:
* An ID requirement that would apply every time a voter casts a ballot in person or by mail.
* Requiring burdensome, expensive, and unreliable federal database checks to confirm US citizenship of eligible voters.

Millions of Californians do not have government-issued ID documents with their current name and address on it. For those who don’t, many don’t have the time or funds to replace documents, including those whose documents were lost or destroyed by natural disasters like the wildfires.

VoteRiders’ research and advocacy is critical to understanding the potential impacts of this dangerous initiative.

We could really use your support, John. Make a gift now, and a dedicated donor will double it — and we’ll put it straight to use protecting voting rights!

YES! DOUBLE MY DONATION! >> [link removed]

Onward,

Roy Speckhardt
Development Director
