“An aging, nearly 90 percent white GOP cannot carry its candidates to electoral victory on a platform that revels in the consequences of unvarnished racism — such as Charlottesville — or the terror of family separation and placing babies in cages.” https://t.co/OsgOZNOYyc

We normally think of voting as something that has been advancing forward, but really in the last decade, 24 states have put in place new laws that make it harder for eligible citizens to vote.
Almost half the states. https://t.co/J7lnPSO4Vf

"A review by The Beast found at least 5 voter-suppression practices in active use today. All are led by Republicans, all have disproportionate effects on non-white populations, and all are rationalized by bogus claims of voter fraud." – @jaymichaelson https://t.co/bNj2HYZCGD

.@staceyabrams never said she wants undocumented immigrants to vote & clearly doesn't. This is BS Republicans use to justify voter suppression. Focus on registering the 53,000 you blocked @BrianKempGA https://t.co/8Lz3w99PKr
