President Obama's (reelection campaign) is launching a new website to help voters navigate a slow of state in (local voting laws), including new one's requiring photo ID and limiting early voting. NPR's Pam Fessler reports.
The website is called gottavote.org. Bob Bauer, the campaign's general Counsel says it's a (one-stop shop) for those looking for answers to important questions, such as, when do I have to register by? What do I need to bring to the poll? Can I vote early? Where is my polling place? The information is (state-specific) and available in English and Spanish. It's part of the Democratic efforts to (sign up) as many new voters as possible and make sure that new voting restriction don't discourage those most likely to vote Democratic from going to the polls. Democrats and voting rights group are fighting the laws (in court). But they want to educate voters just in case the new requirements are still (in effect) in November.
