The Advancement Project says in a report to be released tomorrow that restrictions in 23 states -- such as photo identification laws, requirements to prove citizenship and attempts to remove non-citizens from voter rolls in states such as Florida -- will have a "disproportionate effect" on Latinos and people of color.
"The pattern is unmistakable," says Judith Browne Dianis, co-director of the Advancement Project. "State after state has moved to obstruct the ability of millions of Latino citizens to participate in our democracy."
She said these voting laws impair "the fundamental American value of ensuring all citizens have an equal voice."
