They have to do both.

Because we're seeing this assault on voting rights.

It's not theoretical.

It's happening.

Trump's election moves and the redistricting pushes all over the place are predominantly impacting underrepresented populations.

In my home state of Florida, there's a redistricting push from DeSantis that would remove two black majority districts.

Just erase them.

And then there's the voter ID push.

And I want to walk you through how it actually works because I hear it all the time.

The Republicans love to say and post memes, how is it racist to require an ID?

And on the surface, it sounds reasonable, right?

Everyone should have an ID, right?

Wrong.

I'll take you to Alabama.

Over the last several years, Alabama has closed dozens of DMV offices, primarily in black counties.

Not the ones in the suburbs, not the ones in the wealthy areas, the ones that are in the communities that already have the fewest resources.

So now for those people, predominantly black communities, to get an ID, you have to make an appointment months in advance.

Sometimes you have to drive for hours.

Take a full day off work because we know a DMV is not efficient.

And for someone who's working hourly, barely scraping by, losing a day's pay, they can't afford to lose it.
