Then there’s this: Georgia county ditches new voting machines for paper ballots (from @AP) “Impracticable to use the new electronic voting system to protect absolute ballot secrecy while allowing sufficient monitoring of the ballot marking devices in use.” https://t.co/bFYC48IXd3

Texas closed 750 polling places after SCOTUS gutted Voting Rights Act, more than any other state
72% of closures came in 50 counties with fastest growth of blacks & Latinos
And last night Democrats & minority voters in Houston waited 6 hours to votehttps://t.co/WKYhGNOXh5
