Give people poor schools, poor communities, then blame them for their faults. Sounds American to me.

Good for them. Stand with anyone who is standing up for your right to vote. Stop dehumanizing people and stop voter suppression laws.

I still dont see how this restricts anything. Is it the voter ID part? If that's it why is voter ID restrictive, but vaccine ID isn't? ID requirements for mail ballots? Oh forgot no one can find a Kinko's to get a copy right?

My city local police trying to intimidate people because they think they're above the law. Where is the police restructuring and police reform as promised. We need to hold those accountable for their actions to maintain trust in public perceptions. No one's is above the law!
