Let's Talk About It/Serious Election Irregularities Are Likely This November.

We've always had problems with voting and elections in this country for a number of reasons. I look at a lot of these issues through the angle of racial equity. There was a found an uptick in voter suppression issues after Obama's election and again after the Supreme Court issued its decision in the Shelby County v Holder case. 

Essentially, what happened is that all these states and jurisdictions that previously had been covered by Voting Rights Act were able to make any changes they wanted to their voting laws and practices without getting clearance from the federal government.

There was seen a slew of states passing voter ID laws, which can have a discriminatory impact. We've had cuts to strong reforms that increased turnout; North Carolina and Georgia were ground zero for a lot of that.
