We have a Supreme Court case coming up.
dealing with the Voting Rights Act and Section 2 and whether or not that remaining piece of the Voting Rights Act will continue to be a viable thing that those of us who are trying to protect voting rights will still have that to use as a tool.
There's a lot in our democratic infrastructure that I think is at risk and that has to be strengthened.
And if Democrats, as I said, have trifecta control come 2029, this has got to be a priority.
Yeah, I mean, they put in place all of these measures designed to stop voter fraud, when in fact, voter fraud in any consequential way simply does not exist.
The state systems that run our elections do so pretty damn well, whether they are Republicans or Democrats, independents, regular citizens, you know, volunteering their time.
There is simply not the voter fraud there that allows them to put in place
You know, a whole range of things from, you know, photo ID, I don't think is necessary.
No, voter ID, I think that's fine, but not photo ID.
That's not necessarily a good thing.
Or in Texas, you know, if you didn't have a driver's license, well, you could go get photo ID, but you had to pay $22 to get it.
And as I said, well, that's a poll tax.
I mean, you know, you got to pay money to vote.
That's not the way we're supposed to do this.
And so you also have, you know, the purging of voter rolls, again, because supposedly they're filled with dead people.
Doesn't show that to be true.
The Shelby County versus Holder decision, unfortunately, has my name on it from 2013, took away from the Justice Department's ability to be clear about
changes that certain states that were covered by the Act would try to put in place.
Closing polling places, you know?
I mean, if you look at the election, I guess it was in 2020, and you look at Atlanta from, I guess, 5 o'clock on, if you were in a white part of Atlanta, it took you about seven minutes to vote.
