the ACB hearings: death by a thousand paper cuts

I’m doing this letter writing campaign for Vote Forward and we’re in the final push before mailing day so this will be short and sweet. If you’ve got an hour to spare over the next day or two consider volunteering to reach out to voters in one of the battleground states.

As for me, I’ve only got two words for you.

These. Hearings.

Bless.

I asked Judge Barrett if she agreed with this quote by Chief Justice Roberts: “Voting discrimination still exists. No one doubts that.”
