Who are the allies to reach out to when our votes are being suppressed?

My buddy lives in Kansas. Dodge City has lots of Hispanic people registered to vote. Kobach has moved the polling stations all out of the town. There is no place in Dodge City to vote at all.

Who can they reach out to to bring attention, sue, help them?

Not that it should matter, but he is a US Army veteran.

are working on organizing rides to the polls. I've read a Twitter thread from them @emptywheel (https://twitter.com/emptywheel); they don't seem to have a number to call for rides yet.




If you can't access Twitter, here's the text:

To combat voter suppression in Dodge City, we’re raising funds and recruiting volunteers to make sure all eligible Dodge City voters are able to vote and have their vote counted. Support our Dodge City GOTV effort


Also, the ALCU has a lawsuit regarding this, but that likely won't be resolved before election day.

Hope this helps.
