Looking at Political Decisions

So... I THINK I've learned this much.

This is a part of the U.S.'s systemic racism. Shooting down something because it TAKES AWAY something (power/wealth/jobs) from... White people, keeping the power with Whites.

Yesterday (and happening in Kentucky today), a judge ruled that it was okay for Kentucky to be down to only 200 polling places (instead of 3,700!). Many Black voters (um... 616,000??) live in counties where there will be a single voting location. Here's how the federal judge used the language to keep Black voters suppressed:

          ...and yet there are counter-stories that say people are voting for the first time since getting their rights restored... they don't have enough poll workers due to COVID... people have been able to vote for weeks in-person or with mail-in ballots... and any voter who applied for an absentee ballot but did not receive one can still go in to vote. (HOW?! If they canNOT vote in person, that's why they asked for an absentee ballot!) I don't think these counter-stories hold water. I did ask the Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Abrams more about this... no response as of this writing.
