Has Justice Roberts commented on Georgia yet?

You know, considering we've solved minority voter suppression and stuff...

Maybe someone should ask him to comment.

I'd love to hear his take on it.

Maybe he could comment on how we've also solved systemic racism.

Doesn't Georgia confirm the vindication of his opinion that the voting rights act was so pre-"wokeness"

He should celebrate how right he was.

To ask about the Voting Rights Act (now that we clearly don't need it!) and about the absolute power claimed by the Executive Branch of our government (Ass Face's taxes).

Perhaps he should receive more than one!

Everything they predicted about Citizens United and dismantling the Voter Rights Act came true.

expressing our extreme disappointment in the way the ran the primary. The counties are responsible for selecting polling places, ensuring adequate staff and training, etc.

They failed, and need to get it right come November. And, voters can help by voting early or by mail.

It wasn't the counties that closed 100s of polling places.

Of the hundreds closed, almost 80% were in areas with high minority citizens.

That's like having Ohio State play the Sisters of the Poor in football, and telling the Sisters of the Poor that they need to do better.
