TurboVote is something of a one-stop resource for election information: on the page I've linked ,you can sign up for election reminders and also get help with registering to vote. (I've been meaning to make a post about this for a while but I put it off until I'd had a chance to see for myself if the reminders worked--- and they do; I got one for the primary in my state.)

Georgia just dropped 591,000 people off their voter rolls.

This is supposedly their usual roll-cleaning, and it's only supposed to exclude so-called inactive voters.

Right now, I don't think it's a good idea to trust that. Especially since the spokeswoman from the SoS office seems to think this is a fraud prevention measure. (“By regularly updating our rolls, we prevent fraud and ensure that all votes are cast by eligible Georgia voters.”)

If you (or someone you know) live in Georgia, you can go to the Secretary of State's website to check your registration. (You have until October 9th to register for the midterms this year!)

On November 18, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) introduced the No Religious Registry Act (H.R. 6382) to ensure individuals of all faiths are protected from the establishment of a national religious registry. The bill would:
prohibit the Attorney General, Secretary of Homeland Security and any United States government official from establishing or utilizing a registry for the purposes of classifying individuals on the basis of religious affiliation. The legislation would cover U.S. nationals, U.S. visa applicants and aliens lawfully present in the United States.

Reps. John Conyers, John Lewis, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Doris Matsui, Steve Cohen, Keith Ellison, Andre Carson and Judy Chu are original cosponsors of the bill. According to Rep. Delbene's office, other representatives from Washington State have requested to be added to the bill.

Call your representatives to ask them to publicly support the bill (or to thank them if they have already done so).

Full details of the bill, including a list of co-sponsors, can be found at https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/6382?r=1.
