Well, that’s one way to “win” an election – by disenfranchising the majority of the population by the minority vote!! America – the land of liberty and justice for some – to wit: the rich and infamous!!
Truly amazing how the autocratic overtones have bubbled to the surface since 2016 and continue to bubble and fester. Better that people know and combat this in the U.S.

I think it’s called “overreach” when it gets stopped. So it becomes absolutely obvious that we need a new voting rights act.

The basic problem is that most Americans don’t vote, don’t know, and don’t care. They make it easy for a few to be in control of the many.

Just the republicans. Only the republicans hate people of color, only the white racist minority republicans want to take their vote away.

The pattern is obvious and appalling: Trump and the Republicans are trying to invalidate votes in cities with large African American populations .

Republicans and the Trump campaign have challenged or questioned the vote count in Black areas of Wisconsin and Michigan
Intelligencer
Donald Trump’s efforts to disenfranchise Black voters in North Carolina is an age-old tactic. Here’s the history behind Black voter suppression.
Time
