Voter Suppression Still Occurs, 55 years After Voting Rights Act - The Last Word - MSNBC



Congressman John Lewis said you must use your vote "because it is not guaranteed. You can lose it." Voter ID laws, fewer polling sites, the coronavirus - and now cuts to the US Postal Service - are threatening the right to vote in America. Aired on 7/31/2020.

drumpf will do everything legal and illegal to stop us from voting him out, he plans to produce total chaos and destruction in his march to fascistic dictator. If you live in a state without strict signature matching, mail in ballots ASAP please. If you live in FL, if you vote mail in your vote can and probably will be stolen. Early voting is great in this state, so much more flexible and without the long line. I highly recommend it.

It's unbelievable that we're still fighting this battle after so many decades. People fought and died for voting rights in this country and we need to ensure this right for 2020 - we cannot let Trump steal the election again! - and for the future.

He's one I expect to close most polling places in every city that even came close to voting blue in 2018, including mine. Plus Scott stopped more than 100,000 Floridians from voting in 2018 with his should be illegal voter signature matching fraudulent scheme and DeathSentence will just seek to double that or more.
