1 week ago Republicans are trying to ensure we’ll never have another fair election | Judith Levine

From an executive order and redistricting to seeking to kill mail-in ballots, the party is conducting an all-out assault on voting rights“Christians, get out and vote, just this time,” Donald Trump exhorted the audience at a campaign event organized by the conservative Turning Point Action in July 2024. “In four years, you don’t have to vote again.
