Voter Intimidation at the Polls: What Every American Should Know Before November

https://thedemocracyadvocate.com/current-events/voter-intimidation-at-the-polls/

In a letter sent to >250 companies, members of the #BlackCaucus urge them to condemn the #redistricting efforts, which the lawmakers describe as “coordinated efforts to silence #Black voices at the ballot box.” Some of the #corporations had co-signed their own message to #Congress 5 years ago urging lawmakers to pass the #JohnLewis #VotingRightsAct, a Democratic proposal to restore & update the #VRA.

The #CongressionalBlackCaucus on Tuesday called on major #corporations across the #US, including those that previously expressed support for #VotingRights & #RacialJustice, to oppose #redistricting efforts by #Republican led states that seek to eliminate majority-#Black US #House districts.

Here lies the #FourteenthAmendment, which could not survive the exsanguination of the #VotingRightsAct at the hands of a compromised and corrupt #SCOTUS.

May its memory be a blessing.

Today the Roberts Court spits on graves of hundreds of thousands who died for the idea that black people are people.
The Civil War really was a thing.
But Uncle #ClarenceThomas won't be happy until he can't vote.

This is the #DisintegrationChecklist. #TheChecklist of what we can expect to lose in the next four years. That makes it a tool for gauging the progress of loss. 43 items. A grim countdown score in the form of a simple number: how many are still left? That is the #DisintegrationScore. 43... for now.

Keeping track of this #DisintegrationChecklist, & the
#DisintegrationScore, is not a silly thing. I am not trying to #gamify the #apocalypse. It is a concrete measure, and if it is widely shared, it will make apparent even to the distracted the accelerating loss. A tool for those capable of caring.

#SupremeCourt's #rulings on #gerrymandering are under scrutiny for being #incoherent and #raciallybiased.

The #Court going to #weaken the #VotingRightsAct, by allowing #states to claim their #racially-driven #gerrymandering is merely #partisan. It's #Alarming.
