#VoterSuppression
“Democrats have tried since 2021 to pass a voting rights act but have been stymied by Republicans, who oppose such protections.”

“[A] recent study showed that in Alabama, the gap between white and Black voter turnout in the 2024 election was the highest since at least 2008. If nonwhite voters in Alabama had voted at the same rate as white voters, more than 200,000 additional ballots would have been cast.”

5 million ballots were purged because the voters were people of color.
TRUMP LOST. Vote Suppression Won.
Trump lost. That is, if all legal voters were allowed to vote, if all legal ballots were counted, Trump would have lost the states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia. Vice-President Kamala Harris would have won the Presidency with 286 electoral votes.

How Trump and the GOP Fixed the 2026 Election yes 2026
As @terrelljstarr always says, the #US is NOT a mature #democracy. Stories like this illustrate how it has only recently enjoyed a few decades of enfranchisement. And even then, dirty tricks aimed at #votersuppression abound.
Watch #VigilantesInc to learn how GA used #data & #AI to suppress votes.
Indiana has practically the lowest voter turnout in America. @bolts’s @taniel reports on efforts that will probably make it even lower. “Legislation banning the use of student IDs for voting passed the state Senate with near unanimous Republican support in early February and now sits with the GOP-run House,” he writes.
My partner and I live roughly 2 hours (in one direction) away from the closest voting station.
2 weeks ago we applied for our Mail in voter cards. 2 weeks ago we sent in those voter cards. There is no excuse. We need to be better.
happy travel advisory election day, ontario. if you can, make sure any neighbours with mobility challenges can get to the polls. especially anyone-but-Ford voters #votersuppression
Doug Ford Called this election during winter to suppress the vote!!
Ontario voters with disabilities and seniors face barriers in winter election: advocates
People not receiving their voter card well before election day seems pretty deliberate and just stinks to high hell of #votersuppression.
Politics is really toxic and people only have a certain bandwidth of what they can process - so filtering out all of the #election information is a way of dealing with the onslaught of information and disinformation. So, people are relying on getting their voter card to let them know about the election. If you don't know, you don't vote.
A straight copy from #votersuppression laws passed under #BorisJohnson in the #uk!
It's no coincidence that every voter in Ontario received their "Dug-Dollars" voter bribe cheque before the election, but many, many Ontarians have not received their voter card.

In the 1800s, they used poll taxes; in the Jim Crow era, literacy tests. Now it’s the SAVE Act, a shiny new label for an old agenda: silencing millions of voters. Let’s break down this blatant assault on democracy and remember how hard people fought for the right to vote—and why we can’t give it up now. https://forgottenfiles.substack.com/p/the-fine-print-of-suppression #history #VotingRights #DemocracyMatters #NoSAVEAct #VoterSuppression #ProtectTheBallot
