“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."

          No going off your experience, sample size of one, while ignoring evidence ( that many people stuggle to get ID, with evidence) that points to the contrary of your personal experience( that you had an easy time * iT lOoKs FlAt*

              All my life I’ve never met a starving African child, so I guess they aren’t starving.
