ICYMI Excellent interview about the Voting Rights Act and where it now stands with Sherrill Ifill and Jon Stewart of The Daily Show.

Civil rights lawyer and founding director of Howard Law School's 14th Amendment Center for Law & Democracy, Sherrilyn Ifill, sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss the Supreme Court’s weakening of the Voting Rights Act.

They talk about how the reinstatement for purposeful discrimination overturned the court’s own precedent, how the Voting Rights Act protects the voting strength of minorities and their candidates of choice, and the dangerous potential for Trump and Republicans to redistrict using this precedent in an effort to turn seats in the House.

This entire SAVE con is a Poll Tax. Poll Taxes were abolished by the 24th amendment.

However, in order to be able to vote if the SAVE act passes, you will need to spend hundreds of dollars and possibly months of time.

The Republicans are working to instate an illegal election policy change, in the same year as an election, as close to the election as possible. The change targets voters who don’t vote for Trump. Yes it will be overturned eventually by the Supremes, but not in time for 2026 elections

#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.
