Native Americans say the North Dakota law was designed to keep them from the polls and violates the Voting Rights Act, the U.S. Constitution and the state Constitution. The Supreme Court just declined to get involved.

A new report from the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights reinforces what many already know: the Supreme Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act made it easier for states to discriminate at the voting booth.

“One way Amazon and Apple can demonstrate a real commitment to espoused values of diversity is by making it clear that they won’t move their headquarters to a state that is rapidly sliding backward on racial oppression and voting rights.”

“The Texas code already recognizes that a natural disaster is an extenuating circumstance necessitating accommodations.”

“It imposes burdens disproportionately on Blacks and Latinos.”

The legislators who created SB 14 wanted to keep Black and Latinx voters away from the polls.

“This signals to voters that they will not be protected under this administration.”

Media Matters for America breaks down how strict voter ID laws lock Black and Latinx people out of the electoral process.

“Voter impersonation is rarer than being struck by lightning.”

An appeals court ruled last month that the law “target[ed] African Americans with almost surgical precision.”

The Daily Show Host: “I know that this systemic level of election rigging must have come as a shock to Americans. Because had Americans known, surely the world’s greatest democracy would have done something about it by now.”

The appeals court decision repeals provisions put in place under the guise of reducing voter fraud.

The ACLU argued that the law prevents poor people of color from voting.

Critics say the provisions will keep people of color away from the polls.

The original Spanish-language guides contained an incorrect voter registration deadline and did not tell voters that they can use a passport as acceptable photo ID. 

It’s Super Tuesday, and that means 12 states and one U.S. territory are holding primaries and caucuses today. Is it time for you to head to the polls?

John Oliver hilariously dismantles the case for enacting restrictive voter identification laws.

“Voter ID laws skew democracy in favor of Whites and those on the political right.”

The plaintiffs argue that it was intentionally created to cheat people of color out of their right to vote.

Court says the law discriminates against people of color and the poor but stops short of saying the state did it on purpose.
