For those who’ve ever thought it didn’t matter who they voted for - while others begged them to remember the importance of the Supreme Court - this is why it does. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 forbade all this, but in 2013 SCOTUS chipped away at the VRA. And here we are.

Who runs those precincts ?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Who runs Fulton County? Who is the the government in Atlanta? Voting is done on a local level. Either admit Democrats did this or you’re simply a liar.

Btw, it's looking like a runoff between Ossoff and Tomlinson, although he came close to the 50% needed to avoid it. If Tomlinson had his $$$ believe she has a better chance of defeating Perdue in November.

And Obama & Holder just “stood there” instead of “doing something.” Just as with George Zimmerman re Trayvon Martin: counterpunch.org/2013/07/29/…. Feds could’ve investigated, publicized & busted suppression of African-American vote in old Confederacy states post-VRA roll-back. Didn’t.

Why the Justice Department Can (and Must) Criminally Prosecute George Zimmerman

Trayvon Martin was Engaged in a "Federally Protected Activity"

And just like dominos our Voting Rights came tumbling down. By 2018 the Economist Intelligence Unit downgraded the United States to a #FlawedDemocracy - if Trump is elected again we will soon live in a #HybridRegime #VoteForOurLives #Biden2020 #RestoreTheVRA
