“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 never said you were a trump supporter. Not an ad hominem, I was just showcasing an example of why your “source” isn’t a source. Lol

        The source is fox “news” cherry picking sound bites, much like my source is cherry picking sound bites. Ergo you don’t have a factual trustworthy source, you have opinion pieces. Try again or don’t I don’t care lol
