Stacey Abrams and Michelle Obama are coming together in a renewed push for federal voting rights legislation.
The former Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Georgia and former first lady released a video on Thursday calling on the public to help "protect our freedom to vote," as a number of Republican-dominated states continue to pass elections bills that some say will hamper voters' access to the polls.
According to the Brennan Center for Justice, at least 18 states have enacted 30 laws that restrict access to vote.
Obama, in the video, said "dangerous legislation" is being considered throughout the country that would limit voting rights.
