I am sick to death of Republicans getting away with this racist crap. The current makeup of SCOTUS has me seriously questioning whether any judge should have a "lifetime" appointment. It doesn't seem to be working for the good of the country anymore, and actually seems to be taking us back to a time when POC and women couldn't vote at all. To think that this isn't the Republican's ultimate dream, is very short sighted, imo.
I've never understood why someone has to jump through so many hoops to vote.
Voting, along with citizenship, is an inalienable right to which there are very very very few exceptions or revocations.
I just don't understand the logic that to vote, you have to want it so badly that you have to pass muster to overcome all the barriers placed before you.
It is enormously fatiguing to watch the manifold attacks on our democracy and efforts to establish an apartheid state in the United States, and feel essentially helpless. Many of us contributed and volunteered during the last election and the Georgia runoffs, only to see everything we believe in continue to be at risk. I really hope the Democratic members of the Senate junk the filibuster and pass HR1 and HR4. And maybe add four members to SCOTUS as well.
