“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."
Harder than going to the place that gives them out and asking for one? I’m not going to hold your hand
If only it were that easy!
It is, I’ve done it many times
I am very happy it has been easy for you. From what I have read that is not the case for many
You’ve never done it?
I have, in my country, where it’s relatively easy, but since I know this question is coming. Here is a source for you.

Yeah you’re spouting propaganda you’ve heard.
You sure proved your point. If only you weren’t spouting propaganda that you heard! I guess we’re at an impass now.
I’m going off real experiences
Are you white? Are you not living in poverty?
They didn’t ask
So that’s a yes to both.
Cute, though, that you’re trying to pretend that no one can tell what color your skin is and unable to tell whether or not you are wearing tattered old clothes. That’s a level of white privilege I rarely encounter.
Idk what that means, as if it has anything to do with privilege. Seems pretty racist tho
I am sure it would seem pretty racist to someone who doesn’t bother looking at any of the links in this thread about how black people and poor people are often unable to get IDs. But your victimhood is noted.
