“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 people who live in Harlem, not Trump supporters

                  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
