Responding to the actions taken by the Trump Administration (such as the Voter Fraud Commission), Let America Vote aims to create political consequences for politicians intent on denying certain Americans the right to vote, especially those that target low-income and minority voters.[4][5] The group raised approximately $2.4 million in its first year, and has now established office branches in Iowa, New Hampshire, Georgia, Tennessee, and Nevada.[6][7][8] Board of AdvisorsLet America Vote is governed by a board of advisors consisting of voting rights activists, non-profit leaders, former Obama Administration officials, and Democratic politicians.[9] Notable members include: {{div col|colwidth=22em}}
Other activitiesIn his capacity as president of Let America Vote, Kander also serves as chairman of the Democratic National Committee's Commission on Protecting American Democracy from the Trump Administration. Congresswoman Terri Sewell serves as vice chair.[10] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg/?C00632398|title=Committee details|publisher=Federal Election Committee|accessdate=June 4, 2018}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.letamericavote.org/news/pressreleases/2017/jason-kander-launches-let-america-vote-fight-voter-suppression-laws-across-country/|title=Jason Kander Launches Let America Vote To Fight Voter Suppression Laws Across The Country|date=February 7, 2017|author=Wilder, Will|publisher=Let America Vote|accessdate=June 4, 2018}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.riverfronttimes.com/newsblog/2017/02/07/jason-kander-launches-let-america-vote-to-fight-voter-suppression|title=Jason Kander Launches Let America Vote to Fight Voter Suppression|first=Doyle|last=Murphy|publisher=Riverfront Times|date=February 7, 2017}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/318241-former-dem-senate-candidate-launches-voting-rights-group|title=Former Dem Senate candidate launches voting rights group|publisher=The Hill|date=February 7, 2017|author=Kamisar, Ben|accessdate=June 5, 2018}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.letamericavote.org/frontpage/2017/jason-kander-statement-trump-voting-commissions-apparent-pause-due-lawsuits/|title=Jason Kander Statement on Trump Voting Commission’s Apparent Pause Due to Lawsuits|publisher=Let America Vote|accessdate=June 5, 2018}} 6. ^Raasch, Chuck.
