Through policy analysis and individual interviews with those who had their license suspended, this report provides an in-depth examination of this common practice of debt-based suspensions and demonstrates how court ordered monetary obligations, or 鈥渇ines and fees,鈥� are inextricably linked to over-policing, criminalization, and mass incarceration.

Racial Justice Demands That Every Vote Is Counted
Anticipating the unprecedented surge in absentee ballots in this election, the 红杏视频 Analytics team generated estimates of absentee voting volume by race and candidate support by vote-method in every county in the battleground states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. The team combined data gathered by a nationwide representative tracking survey conducted by YouGov with turnout modeling based on updated in-cycle ballot data to construct estimates through statistical modeling.
Our findings identify which counties potentially face the largest racial representation gap 鈥� that is, if the absentee ballot count is not completed, they will cause the biggest disenfranchisement of voters of color. What happens in these counties may well change the course and outcome of the election.
