vote was allowed to, no republican would win the White House again, ever.

So voting rights is the focus, plain and simple.

You see what they do is they get a million less votes in the House yet still control the House and then lie to the people that they are the majority, they arent.

Then they get several million less votes in the presidential election, and claim they have a mandate, they dont.

Our country has been taken from us in a coup de tat and it had several working legs of this coup all working at the same time. The only way to stop them, to get our country back, is if everybody can vote. Problem with that is the people in charge now will make it even harder if not impossible for minority folks to vote.
