🚨🚨🚨 NEW: Republican-appointed judges are MORE likely to allow voter suppression in cases where litigants demonstrate that policies would disproportionately harm people of color. Read the new analysis from @TakeBacktheCt here: takebackthecourt.today/antidemocracy-…
Republican-appointed judges have made it harder for people of color to vote in 90 percent of 2020 votes involving policies with transparently racially discriminatory effects. Among Trump-appointed justices the number climbs to a jaw-dropping 94 percent of cases #TakeBacktheCourt
By comparison in cases w/o allegations of racial discrimination, Republican- & Trump-appointed judges cast anti-democracy votes in 71 and 76 percent of cases respectively. Yes, that means Republican Judges MORE Likely to Approve Voter Suppression when racial allegations involved
“It’s not just that Republican-appointed judges—and Trump judges especially—are hostile to democracy,” said Take Back the Court Director @AaronBelkin. “They go the extra mile to crack down on voting when it’s clear that people of color will bear the brunt of the damage.” 
The Republican party is systematically working to enshrine White minority rule — and the Courts are complicit. That’s why we must take back the court. Learn more: takebackthecourt.today
