9. I hope they point out which states are using these tactics of voter suppression

Like GA and TX purging the rolls, closing polling locations or just making it harder for everyone to vote but it's designed to affect the Black communities.

TX is among one of the states that is closing more polling locations. I am a precinct chair and used to work the elections, however, I no longer have my precinct as a polling location. Oh boy the trade away in this is anyone can vote wherever they want on election day. But what difference does that make if you have to travel a long distance to cast a ballot, or have extremely long lines because they are making it more difficult to vote.


KY is now doing this as well.

It's disgraceful.
