There’s a new Jim Crow in the U.S. This 2.0 ver­sion is leg­is­la­tion passed by politi­cians who mouth pieties about pro­tect­ing our sacred right to vote and the integri­ty of elec­tions. After one of the most secure and ver­i­fied elec­tions in U.S. his­to­ry there is a wave of vot­er sup­pres­sion laws being pro­posed across the coun­try. Accord­ing to the Bren­nan Cen­ter for Jus­tice, Repub­li­can leg­is­la­tors in 43 states have intro­duced more than 250 bills that would make it hard­er to vote. These mea­sures pri­mar­i­ly seek to impose stricter vot­er ID require­ments, reduce the num­ber of polling places, lim­it mail drop box­es and ear­ly vot­ing. These actions are an open assault on the 1965 Vot­ing Rights Act that Dr. King, John Lewis and so many oth­ers fought for. What’s going on with Amer­i­can democracy?
