Prime Minister #ImranKhan barely survived a no-confidence vote & a fierce opposition alliance this month; gets a breather thanks to opposition #PPP's decision not to rock the system in #Pakistan, for now. But his weak cabinet is a year overdue for a shakeup, saved by #COVID. /1
#PTIGovernment cabinet change was expected early 2020 but pandemic response+ economic situation delayed decision until autumn, when opposition alliance #PDM seized national narrative from the govt. Now, after Senate election, tough decisions are due. /2
The #PTI government could have kicked off its 5-year tenure on a strong footing had it made this decision 25 months ago. Better late than never but a lot of damage has been done. Tough task awaits a young capable minister. /3
Today, Jan 17, #AbdulHafeezKardar would have turned 96. He was Pakistan's first & finest cricket captain, ever!
Kardar put PK cricket on world map not once, but twice (second time as head of BCCP; now @TheRealPCB).
Note comment on IK & on selecting teams

Clips from my #PTV show some 30yrs ago. My other guests were legendary cricket commentators #OmarKureishi and #JamshedMarker.
I ask AH #Kardar (skipper) what it takes to be a great cricket captain?
His answer: "the psychological factor!"

Pakistan's first cricket team was legendary. #Kardar led it against all Test sides of the time and won Tests against each of them! Unheard of then, or since.
Here #OmarKureishi, #JamshedMarker & #AbdulHafeezKardar talk about what made that team so great.

In 2013, Shelby County v. Holder stripped the preclearance requirement from the Voting Rights Act. Over the last 7 years, as a direct result of the decision, voter suppression schemes designed to abridge the rights of voters of color have been unleashed upon our elections. #OTD
Why was preclearance so important?
Section 5 of the VRA mandated jurisdictions with a history of discrimination to obtain approval before changing voting rules. This process allowed much of, not all, voter suppression tactics to be blocked before they could be implemented.

With voter suppression allowed to run amok, it's more important than ever that we are #PreparedtoVote. LDF's #PtV effort is on the ground in targeted jurisdictions during elections to answer questions and provide voters with information on voting laws.
The polls have now opened in Mississippi & trained @NAACP_LDF #PreparedtoVote (PtV) volunteers & staff are on-the-ground equipping voters with non-partisan election protection information.

#PtV matters because voter suppression has been on the rise since the 2013 #ShelbyCounty Supreme Court decision. That decision gutted the #VotingRights Act by removing the preclearance requirement--a critical oversight needed to ensure fair elections.
Since that decision, voters have been left vulnerable to strict voter ID laws, strategic polling site closures, and misinformation.
