Once again, Republicans are spearheading an effort to disenfranchise 53,000 Georgians. 70% are African-American and another 10% are Latino or Asian-American. This is a clear act of blatant and discriminatory voter suppression. #SuppressionSaga

I am saddened & disheartened at the lengths Georgia officials will go to so boldly silence the voices of their constituents – but I am not surprised anymore. For democracy to function, each and every person must be heard. #SuppressionSaga

Republican Senators showed once again that they don’t really care about Civil Rights. Thursday’s confirmation of Eric Dreiband to lead the Civil Rights Division threatens the DOJ’s duty to protect our fundamental rights. #SuppressionSaga

The DOJ has failed to protect #VotingRights since the day Jeff Sessions walked in the door, reversing decisions on key cases including on Ohio’s voter purge law. #SuppressionSaga

Erecting barriers that specifically disenfranchise voters who use a P. O. Box rather than a street address is not protecting the right to vote. Native Americans deserve the right to vote regardless of their address type. #SuppressionSaga

Last week, Senate Republicans confirmed Mark Norris as a U.S. District Judge for the Western District of Tennessee. Norris has an appalling record of opposing equal rights, including supporting Tennessee’s 2012 strict voter ID requirements. #SuppressionSaga

Norris sponsored a resolution prohibiting the removal of Confederate monuments from parks and public spaces in Tennessee, undermining the very foundation of American values. His record shows he cannot be trusted to make fair and just decisions. #SuppressionSaga
