As a result, there is no official account of how many applications were faulty, the source of the problems and whether the Tennessee Black Voter Project was to blame. “They have created more administrative hurdles to make it harder to vote,” said Charlane Oliver, a co-founder of the Equity Alliance, one of the partners of the Tennessee Black Voter Project. On the final day, the Tennessee Black Voter Project — the largest third-party registration drive working in the Memphis area, Phillips said — dropped off 10,000 applications. “This is how they suppress the vote,” said Charlane Oliver, co-founder of Equity Alliance, a partner in the Tennessee Black Voter Project. The Tennessee Black Voter Project submitted 36,000 forms in Shelby County, organizers said.
