SCOTUS- PRO JIM CROW 2.0
BLACK LIVES MATTER
Last week the Supreme Court decision in Louisiana v Callais gutted the Voting Rights Act of 1965 effectively legalizing racial gerrymandering and moving us closer to rule by a white supremacist Christian nationalist minority.
Immediately Louisiana cancelled its primary election in which tens of thousands have already cast their ballot! The League of Women Voters of Louisiana are filing a lawsuit, in a statement they said-
“This illegal executive order threatens the integrity of our democratic system and disregards the voices of voters who have already participated in the May primary election in good faith. By attempting to suspend an ongoing election, state officials are creating confusion, undermining public trust, and placing partisan interests above the constitutional rights of Louisiana voters. Black voters and communities that have long fought for equal political representation should not be forced to bear the burden of unlawful power grabs designed to silence their voices. Elections belong to the people — not to politicians seeking to manipulate the rules.”
This decision will affect everyone, if one person's civil rights are denied we are all less free.
