-Sor’en walked away that day without voting, but still got something valuable from the experience: evidence of targeted Tevarin voter suppression. Strategically positioned around the polling center were members of a surveillance team recruited by Sor’en. Over the following three days, her team of Humans and Tevarin visited polling centers around Lago to document the movements and intimidation tactics used by Nemesis to keep other Tevarin from voting. Sor’en shared this information along with real time information of Nemesis whereabouts with local authorities, but when election officials showed up to catch the group in action, it was nowhere to be found.

-Founded in 2941, Stronger Together advocates for Tevarin causes across the UEE. They routinely provide free legal representation for Tevarin who can’t afford it and guide others through the complicated Citizenship application process. They also monitor the activity of anti-Tevarin hate groups and collate data of xenophobic crimes from all UEE systems. Yesterday, Stronger Together filed a lawsuit in Nexus on behalf of Sor’en requesting that UEE observers take control of the planet’s election. Gor explained that Lago’s relatively weak government allowed such a blatant disregard for the rule of law to go unchecked.

-More concerning for Gor was the lack of polling centers near historic Tevarin districts, forcing them to travel greater distances to vote. Gor doesn’t believe the placement of polling centers is intended to disenfranchise Tevarin voters, merely a result of centuries of anti-Tevarin policies enacted during the Messer regime. This includes the construction of districts after the Second Tevarin War to house the Tevarin diaspora across the UEE, which were strategically placed in undesirable locations far from government and cultural centers and often disconnected from public transit systems. The impact of these decisions still can be felt to this day in the lack of local infrastructure to support polling centers in Tevarin neighborhoods. To address this issue, Gor drafted a proposal that would open new polling centers near heavily populated Tevarin districts in Gemma (Elysium), Tanys (Idris), Odyssa (Magnus), and elsewhere around the Empire.
