Jill Habig, the founder and CEO of Public Rights Project, discusses the organization's mission to support local government officials in protecting voter rights and democracy. Habig highlights the increasing efforts by corporate interests and anti-democracy groups to weaken the power of election officials and manipulate election rules. These efforts include contesting common-sense voter policies such as early vote centers and dropboxes.
