@marcelias offers critical context here for the dangerous impacts of GOP-led #VoterSupression:

"The terrible truth is these new voter suppression laws are working... a Republican official boasted that 'we can be especially proud of the City of Milwaukee (80.2% Dem Vote) casting 37,000 less votes than cast in the 2018 election with the major reduction happening in the overwhelming Black and Hispanic areas.”

Marcy Wheeler notes that Jack Smith's subpoena of security footage from the State Farm arena vote count location in Georgia, seen in conjunction with Trump’s efforts in places like Michigan, "is a reminder that Trump and his mobs, many associated with overt white supremacists like Nick Fuentes, aggressively tried to thwart the counting of Black and Latino people’s votes."

And this is a crime.

"Today the North Carolina court reversed its earlier ruling that new maps drawn after the 2020 census violated the state’s constitution because they amounted to a political gerrymander. What led the court to this new result?The law didn’t change. The facts didn’t change. Only the political makeup of North Carolina’s Supreme Court changed, and now they’ve authorized an extreme partisan gerrymander that previously violated the state’s constitution."

@harleygold @bleakfuture #rondesantis is intelligent but that doesn’t preclude him from being insane as well. He’s childlike in the sense he wants to have complete control over everyone & everything, even their thoughts.

Don't forget 🤦 you will need ID 🛂 to vote in the UK 🇬🇧 local elections 🗳️ on the 4th May.

👉 If you don't have any, get it here:
https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-voter-authority-certificate​

No ID = No Vote 🙅

🗨️ Share this with your younger UK friends, people affected by poverty, or those from minority communities - it's them who are most affected - they are less likely to have any official ID

In a rushed night time hearing with no debate, extremist state Senators in Georgia passed SB 221 — eliminating drop boxes for absentee voters. SB221 is voter suppression, point blank. But we still have a chance to stop it.

It's a so-called ´felony' to drop off a friend's ballot, or your disabled bedridden brother's ballot.

Purely #votersupression, or another reason?

This is proof our election system doesn't work when the likes of #MAGARepublicans like @RepMTG, #GeorgeSantos, @laurenboebert are elected, some of whom are given leadership positions!

When citizens fail to vote and/or are restricted from voting (#VoterSupression), this is what happens.

"There’s more chance of being struck by lightning 52 times in a row than there is of being a victim of voter fraud. This is nothing more than a voter suppression attempt by the Conservative Party"
