Left Labeling Election Integrity Reforms As “Jim Crow” Is a Lie and Insulting to Black People

[Revmitchell]

It’s insulting that politicians are trying to manipulate Black folks like me into thinking that voting reforms that protect our right to vote are somehow racist.

It’s a scare tactic and an attempt to rally support for a voting bill currently in Congress ironically called the For the People Act, or H.R. 1.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our republic, and every citizen must be able to trust the voting process and its results.

Look, Salty. They stole my idea about seeing the supposed inability of blacks to obtain voter ID as racist.

Frankly, it’s insulting that politicians are trying to manipulate Black folks like me into thinking that voting reforms that actually protect our right to vote are somehow racist. It’s insulting to be lied to, and—yes, I’m going to say it—it seems awfully racist to be thought of as so ignorant and gullible.
