Major Democratic Super PAC to spend $15M to fight voter suppression
Source: NBC News
A top Democratic super PAC is launching a multi-million dollar campaign in seven battleground states to fight back against policies the group says disenfranchise Black and brown voters.
The group, Priorities USA, will spend $5 million on digital ads that seek to directly reach minority voters in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Nevada and help those voters navigate complicated or cumbersome election laws.
Priorities USA is also spending $10 million on voter protection litigation in existing cases the group says will help defend voting rights in Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Michigan and New Hampshire.
The group shared news of the ad buy and litigation expenditure with NBC News first. The group will publicly announce the news later Monday.

While the other spends time and their own constituents tax dollars, on taking their vote away.
