Remember when America stood for the voting rights of all?

Remember when we had the voting right act?

The bought and paid for SCOTUS ruled we don't need that anymore and now we see the results in Georgia and many other states as well.

The Supreme Court Gutted the Voting Rights Act. What Happened Next in These 8 States Will Not Shock You.
When his court weakened the civil-rights-era law last year, Chief Justice Roberts wrote that ”our country has changed.” We crunched the numbers. He was wrong.
