“If the purges [of potential voters], challenges and ballot rejections were random, it wouldn’t matter. It’s anything but random. For example, an audit by the State of Washington found that a Black voter was 400% more likely than a white voter to have their mail-in ballot rejected. Rejection of Black in-person votes, according to a US Civil Rights Commission study in Florida, ran 14.3% or one in seven ballots cast.”
"[…] Democracy can win* despite the 2.3% suppression headwind.
And that’s our job as Americans: to end the purges, the vigilante challenges, the ballot rejections and the attitude that this is all somehow OK."
I agree, but it appeals to their base. It’s blatantly unconstitutional but that makes no difference to the electorate who will eat it up.
The Dems refuse to play the game and then blame the voters when their boring status quo approach doesn’t get anyone fired up. It can’t be all on us little people to do their jobs for them.
