Reich: Supreme Corp upholds AL voter suppression

The regressive (In)Justices on the Supreme Corp upheld Alabama's ban on curbside voting. The CDC supports it as a preventative to Covid exposure, especially for those most susceptible to its devastating effects. This is especially so since AL does not have a mask mandate. Yes, people can still choose to vote by mail, but we know all the obstructions Twit and Repugs put in place to hinder and eliminate those votes. It is obvious to anyone with even half a brain (a key ingredient apparently missing is some) that Repugs know they cannot win in a fair debate and election and will pull every dirty trick they can to win. Reich said:

"It never ceases to amaze me that a core tenet of an entire political party is making it harder for people to vote.Yesterday the Supreme Court’s five conservative justices sided with Alabama state officials and upheld the state’s ban on curbside voting. Curbside voting, recommended by the CDC, allows voters with disabilities and voters who are more likely to die from COVID-19 to protect their health as they cast their ballot. Alabama does not have a mask mandate, and voting by mail is considerably more difficult than voting in person, especially for voters with disabilities. Earlier rulings found that the state’s ban on curbside voting violated the Americans with Disabilities Act, but the conservative wing of the Supreme Court overturned that ruling and allowed the ban to remain in place — without offering any reasoning why.

 

"I can’t believe this needs to be said, but nobody should have to put their life at risk in order to cast their ballot. It’s absurd, and frankly terrifying, that these five right-wing justices are so willing to trample on voting access and see nothing wrong with changing the rules less than two weeks before the election. Imagine the havoc a 6-3 majority will wreak on voting rights, and channel your outrage into defeating Trump and flipping the Senate. No other solutions toward restructuring the Court and fixing our democracy can move forward until we take back control."
