In Washington State, voters of color have higher ballot rejection rates. Can data show us why?

Washington state voters cast nearly 45 million ballots in primary and general elections between 2012 and 2022. Most of these were accepted. However, voters of color experienced higher ballot rejection rates than white voters. Researchers at the University of Washington's Evans School of Public Policy are using data to understand why this is happening and, hopefully, to reduce the disparity.
