While perpetrating voter suppression, our enemies pretend not to
understand what voter suppression is:

The Fight Over the Massive Bill to Reform Voting Rights
--- Quote ---
> Voter suppression efforts are escalating in 43 states, as are
Republican efforts to block passage of H.R. 1, the massive
voting rights bill just passed by House Dems. The Bulwark's
Charlie Sykes and Stephen Spaulding of Common Cause help Mehdi
understand what's in the bill and what's at stake.

'This Is Suppression!': Steele Slams GA Governor For Voting
Restrictions Law
--- Quote ---
> Georgia's governor has approved a restrictive new GOP voting
bill after weeks of debate about how to tighten voting laws in
the state. MSNBC's Ari Melber reports on the breaking news and
explains the bill will drastically limit early voting and will
limit drop boxes, among other restrictions. This is just one of
at least 253 restrictive voting bills Republicans have
introduced in 43 states since the 2020 election. Michael Steele
joins, asking "do you think Black folks are just going to sit by
and let you get away with this?"

A movement is growing to defy the law:
--- Quote ---
> "One influential Black pastor said he thinks the new law is
unreasonable and that his church will use it to fire up voters.
>
> “We will make a movement out of that,” said the Rev. Tim
McDonald, senior pastor of First Iconium Baptist Church in
Atlanta. “You know something is wrong when you can’t give
grandma a bottle of water and a peanut butter and jelly
sandwich.”
>
> McDonald told CNN he is already planning to test the law with
some civil disobedience. He said that at a future election his
church will dare the police to arrest someone giving water to an
elderly person waiting to vote."
