RasPutin

Voter suppression is as American as the Lindy Hop. The Founders set up our first vote in a way that allowed less than a third of the adults in the nation to participate. They even barred some working-class white men. 

Since then we’ve seen the franchise expanded to include women and people of color, and we’ve seen countermeasures like Jim Crow. The goal of the countermeasures has usually been to keep who gets to vote down to a relatively small, white number.

Our Republican Supreme Court gutted the voting rights act. Today we see a lot of purging of minority Americans from voter lists and the closing of polling places located near minorities. The Republicans aim to win another election. Voter suppression, racism, authoritarianism and sexism are their best issues, along with help from RasPutin. That’s  how you win by coming in second with a small but dedicated base.
