The people for whom I feel the most rage this morning are the black women who, BY DESIGN, waited an extra 3 or 4 hours at the polls to vote for Stacey Abrams while 60%+ of white women coasted in and out of their polling place to support the man who arranged it that way.
What did they do about childcare? About breastfeeding? About the employer who said they’d be fired if they missed more work? About an entire afternoon of lost wages? These are the realities of voter suppression I will never fully appreciate because of my privilege.
And, yikes, the polling puts this number closer to 75%+.
