"A lot has been written about the fact that the U.S. is going to be majority people of color — 2040, 2050 — well, that's 2024 for us here in Georgia," said Nsé Ufot, a voting rights advocate who leads the New Georgia Project, a group that aims to engage and register new voters.

, the sweeping reforms advocates want appear likely to be stalled in the closely divided Senate. Democrats control only a slim majority with Vice President Kamala Harris as the tiebreaking vote, and many Democratic senators have reiterated their opposition to eliminating the 60-vote threshold to pass nearly every piece of legislation, a rule known as the filibuster.

"All of these by themselves are challenging," Cusick said."And then when you start putting them together and you see the ways that they're interacting, it just exacerbates all of the harms, especially for voters of color who are being disproportionately impacted."

Republicans/Trumplicans are trying to prevent non-republican voters from voting and Democrats are trying to assure everyone can vote if they choose to. Which America do you want to live in?

what more proof does any thinking American need to understand . the repub party needs to be dissolved

AntiTrumpReport 'Election integrity' is the right wing euphemism for Jim-Crow-style voter suppression of blacks & minorities.

Why is referring using their language of 'election integrity'? GA POTUS votes were the most scrutinized at every level w/ no fraud. Why is targeting Black voters framed as something that's being said instead of reported as fact? Stop bothsiding important issues. NBCBlk

Georgia ReTHUGplicans are hurting so bad from the state turning blue it must feel like a slave punching an owner in the face that's probably how they feel that's why they're so mad that's why they're so hell bent and not letting black people vote fairly ever again in that state

Good ‘ole Georgia Jim Crow

They are self-annhilating their own party.

Do you doubt this?🧐

Rights groups who forget 100 years of Dem enforced Jim Crow in GA, must be those Dem funded rights groups who survive by race hustling

This is so unacceptable, every election board in this Country gets Fed. funds part of the Help America Voters Act to make voting easier & more accessible. If they spent one dollar of those funds on any equipment or personnel & are trying to suppress the vote they broke the law.

If you aren’t elderly/disabled and are in town, you need show up in person with an id to vote (and states should make sure it doesn’t take more than a hour)

I am gonna keep promoting my Running Man meets Voting reality Tv show idea. Voting Man 'Will he make it to ballot box alive?'

In a democracy, every citizen has the right to vote. When did Republicans stop believing this? Oh yeah, when they realized they couldn’t win elections without disenfranchising people!

This period in our history will mark the reality of racism in America. Sadly it’s here and trying to rear its ugly head but it will fail. But never forget those who stand up to fight it. Truth and integrity always win in the end. Hate never does. CNN TheBushCenter

Narrator: “black voters were, in fact, not the target.”

Republican mantra: If you can't win by merit, rig the game.
