        I seem to recall our Supreme Court said we could gut the Voting Rights Act because now we lived in some post-racial utopia.

        I’ll come down and drive people to the polls if they want to vote. Organize it, Democrat Party of Georgia.

        I wish there would have been such outrage when my predominantly white polling place was closed in 2016.

        1 county. 9 polling stations. Closing 7 of them. That happened in your county? You should've spoke up then. Like we're doing now.

        My county. Three polling stations. And yes we did speak up. They finally opened them at 6PM. It’s LA so nothing would have changed the results but it’s the principle

        LA County doesn’t have three polling stations. I know, because I work the polls every election. There are more than three within walking distance of my house!

        I didn’t say there are only three polling stations in LA county. I’m talking about the three that were closed where I live. Clearly LA has more than three

        The tweet you replied to accurately said that there were 9 polling places in the whole county. You responded in the same format with 3. That could lead to confusion. LA county constantly re-examines how many ppl vote per precinct, how many vote by mail, and changes the maps.

        That’s why people should always check their info, and the pamphlet the county sends out, which has their (possibly different) polling place listed on the front above their address.

        Yes that’s true. But my polling place was closed because no workers showed up. My ex wife’s polling place, a mile away was closed because no voting machines were sent. The issues were corrected late in the day but I’m certain many folks lost the opportunity to vote.

        FINALLY. The most egregious case of voters supreasion aince civil rights, and no one has been covering it! Stacey Abrams deserves a fair election and she has an excellent case for a lawsuit. Tents, modifications, and absentee ballots are all inexpensive ways to deal with ADA.

        This is a blatant effort to prevent an African American woman from a reasonably fair election. Gerrymandering is bad enough. When used in conjunction with this type of ADA farce, it represents an obvious test case for the corrupt GOP to continue the trend of cheating to win seats

        If you have to cheat, you did not win.
