Why Was the Media Ignoring Blatant Efforts to Suppress the Democratic Vote in Georgia?
 "Voter fraud" today is every bit as phony an issue as was Nixon's "drug crisis" in 1971. But our media is almost completely overlooking the story... Finally, The New York Times figured out something skeezy was going on in Georgia. From their article yesterday titled Turnout Was Strong in Georgia, but Mail Voting Plummets After New Law:
"Data released by the Georgia secretary of state showed that mail voting in the state's November general election plunged by 81 percent from the level of the 2020 contest. While a drop was expected after the height of the pandemic, Georgia had a far greater decrease than any other state with competitive statewide races, according to a New York Times analysis."
Ever since 5 Republicans on the Supreme Court blocked full enforcement of the Voting Rights Act, the GOP is making voting easier for rural and suburban white people and harder for urban Black people. Particularly in Georgia.
This is voter suppression at a world-class level, worthy of Putin or Orbán.

Why Was the Media Ignoring the Blatant Efforts to Suppress the Democratic Vote in Georgia?
Tweet: " Long line to vote at the Cobb County Elections office in Marietta, where early Saturday voting just started. [video]" by Dylan Wells. Quote: " The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the anti-war left and black people. We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting people to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, break up their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did." - John Ehrlichman.
