This is what happens when MAGA decides to actively, GLEEFULLY, strip voting protections from Black people.
As it turns out, black people really, truly appreciate their voting rights, because they fought so hard to get them. White people don’t care, their voting rights have never been an issue, they’re just handed to them at birth. But black people still have to fight for their basic right to vote. So restrict and suppress those rights, and they’ll just show up in massive numbers to crush you.
One of MAGAs stupidest traits is that they only understand naked power, and they think that’s all that matters. They think they will pound their enemies with one blow, and that will be the end. They are always surprised that’s there’s a response, often one that is stronger and more effective. Everything will be over in a day, and then it’s not.
These MAGA Morons thought that by gerrymandering these blue/ black districts out of existence, it would also eliminate their votes, but that’s not how it works. They still vote, but now their voting from inside a previously safe red district, and that’s how flips happen.
More virtuosic incompetence from MAGA. Count on it every time.
I don’t think it’s that white people don’t care; there’s an assumption though that they think being born is how they get to vote, when in reality the first American voters where only the wealthiest landowners, and enough time has passed that it’s not as easily passed down by generations as a cautionary tale against the rich and powerful.
I always thought it sus that so many southern states with large black populations had very few black politicians.
It always reeked of interference.
Glad to see the tides are turning.
I grew up in Georgia and left in my 20s. It is very much interference. Old plantation money runs the rural south.
Never forget that Brian Kemp abused his position as Secretary of State to commit election interference and steal his gubernatorial election.
As Secretly of State, he oversees gubernatorial elections. He chose to do this by violating the law by invalidating voter registrations within two weeks of the election. He did this by throwing out registrations where people’s government name didn’t match the name on their registration paperwork. So, if your name is “Deshawn” but your registration paperwork says “Shawn”, for exaple, it got thrown out. Weirdly, there were many examples of people named “William” but their paperwork saying “Bill” that weren’t thrown out. Same with Charles/Chuck and James/Jim.
Weird, huh?
A case was presented to the District Attorney who reviewed it and declined to press charges.
You know someone’s grandpa threw up seeing this
And another someone’s grandpa said “Good! Fuck those republicans!”. Oh Grandpa’s…can’t you all be the same? /s

Fuck. YES.
Love it. Racist must be fuming
The fucking KKK got booted out.
Josh is happy but wants to make sure he doesn’t say the wrong thing.
He’s the diversity hire of the bunch.
It’s a reverse 30 Rock. Josh is the two-fer: white and a man!
Yeah, we saw what Kemp did when Stacy Abrams was a valid threat.
This is long, long overdue.
he also purged votes in his state to get himself elected.
Looks like young people are breaking off the “white man knows better” mentality their parents were propagandized into.
Oh, look. DEI hires.
Finally.
There was a back log.
Wasn’t the Governor of Georgia the Secretary of State and oversaw himself getting elected? He basically argues it wasn’t a conflict of interest to oversee his own election. Good riddance.
I remember when Trump was begging those guys to rig the vote for him, and I was thinking they don’t have a problem rigging the vote, but they’re not going to do it for him. if they’re going to do that, they’ll do it for themselves. Why risk a prison term for that dope in DC?
He also selectively purged voter roles right before the election to give himself an advantage in the same election.
Yes, the very same. I included some details in a post in this thread.
Yay! I keep crying and thinking about “my name is Keisha too!”
The south has risen again.
