What do these states all have in common?
They are all competitive, highly diverse states which have GOP Governors and GOP legislatures which have MADE IT HARDER FOR CITIZENS TO VOTE.

In fact, I can’t think of a single state which is competitive, has a large black or latino population and in which the GOP controls the Governorship and the State Legislature which HASN’T enacted new #VoterSuppression laws this year.
Point out any that I missed.

Again, I cannot think of a single state in which:
- The state is competitive in Presidential Elections
- There’s a large % black or latino population
- There’s a GOP Governor
- And a GOP State Legislature
Where this ISN’T happening. It’s the playbook.

The GOP is trying this everywhere where the margins are close and where there are large percentages of groups they know tend to not vote for them.
They’re succeeding in doing this in places with GOP Governors and GOP State Legislatures. Because that’s where they CAN do it.

It would be nice if we lived in a world in which we had two major political parties which were competing in the marketplace of ideas. Where the key issue was how you felt about taxes. National defense. Education. Health care.
But that’s not the world we live in anymore.
But that’s not the world we live in anymore.
The world we’re living in today is one in which there are two major political parties in America. And one of them has concluded that they can’t win when everybody who can vote does vote.
And so they actively enact policies, where they have the power to and where it would potentially make a difference, which discourage people who can vote from voting. Which is what the Constitution terms “abridging” the right to vote.
This is about Democracy itself. Not policy.
