Debra Cleaver (She/Her/Hers)

CEO & Founder at VoteAmerica

I've been working at the intersection of technology and democracy since 2004. Along the way I've started some organizations, pioneered some new voter registration and turnout tactics, and placed a LOT of billboards that encourage people to vote. I'm unnaturally good at voter registration, probably because I hate it so much. Voter registration is a form of voter suppression, and the US is the only country with democratically elected leadership where citizens register themselves to vote, as opposed to the government handling it. Because I can't stand voter registration, I try to get as much of it done as quickly and as cheaply as humanly possible. Anyway, I hear I'm smart and fun and insightful, and I have big plans to register tens of millions of voters on the C3 side while working to eliminate voter registration deadlines on the C4 side via Same Day Registration. Then I'll focus on expanding the House, which will effectively eliminate the Electoral College.
