Stacy Abrams: "Jim Crow in a Suit and Tie"
I have been watching the news very carefully at republicans efforts to deny people the right to vote. They are doing so by passing racist laws that target black voters and laws that target democrat voters. These laws are aimed at denying the right to vote to non-republican and most non-whites. Stacy Abrams here in the state of Georgia has referred to his as "Jim Crow in a Suit and Tie." A CNN article talks about Stacy Abrams warning and the threat that republicans pose to freedom, democracy and the right to vote.

The only way republicans think they can win an election without changing their ideas and competing with democrats based on ideas or policy is by denying eligible people the right to vote:
Denying The Right to Vote
The republicans might as well just come out and say "We don't believe in freedom and democracy, we want to establish an unchecked dictatorship and tyranny over the American people where the American people have no say so or voice." This, as democrats, we will fight against. We will fight for our freedom and our right to vote. The republicans should expect us to fight them and stop them from crushing freedom and democracy in America.
If the republicans want to win an election then come up with better ideas that better serve the American people than the democrats and you might win an election. However, if the republicans go down the path of denying people the right to vote to get into or stay in power, we will fight them and they will face serious resistance. The republicans need to learn that they cannot permanently suppress the right of people to live in freedom and people will fight them and resist them when they try. We will not accept tyranny and oppression.

Stephen Collinson of CNN wrote:Stacey Abrams' stark warning about Georgia's new election bill being racist is shining a spotlight on a nationwide battle over whose voices will be heard at the ballot box, as Republicans around the country try to suppress voting rights.
The Georgia Democrat's comments on CNN Sunday come amid a building showdown over GOP efforts to make voting harder in multiple states following former President Donald Trump's loss and his lies about ballot fraud, and Washington Democrats' vast federal election and civil rights bill that would counter such efforts. Flurries of bills have been introduced in the key battleground states that decided the 2020 election and were the focus of Trump's attempts to undermine it, but Republicans are also ramping up in Texas and other strongholds that Democrats have lately tried to challenge.
