The Slow Death of Democracy

”The Supreme Court Just Signed a Death Warrant for Voters”

In a 5-4 ruling, the high court’s conservative majority, including the recently-confirmed Brett Kavanaugh, essentially voted to force Wisconsinites to risk their health standing in long lines at the polls on Tuesday or not to vote at all. Hypocritically, the justices cast these votes remotely—and are canceling oral arguments in some of their other cases—to protect themselves from the coronavirus, while they are forcing Wisconsin’s voters to choose between risking their lives, and the safety of their communities, versus their right to participate in democracy.

Voter suppression is only going to get worse. Purple states are probably at greatest risk for these shenanigans.

Vote in November. As if your life depended on it.
