The Missing Suppressed Voters
The entire progressive movement and their media allies are promoting a narrative that conservatives are suppressing the vote, that they have been doing so for years and are accelerating their efforts. Biden calls the commonsense election integrity measures some states have enacted "Jim Crow 2.0."
We live in a country where people are able to demonstrate when they're unhappy. They have marched for social justice. Later this month, those who despise abortion, include me, will march in Washington, D.C., and there will be counterdemonstrations by pro-abortion advocates.
But according to the progressive left, millions of minorities are being prohibited from voting. Really? Where are the victims of voter suppression?
Where are the massive crowds in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, New Orleans and St. Louis saying they couldn't vote? Where are all the people on the Sunday talk shows saying they were denied a chance to vote?
As the Wall Street Journal noted, "In 2020, the Census Bureau says, black voter turnout in Georgia was 64%, compared with Massachusetts's 36%." So, why is the Biden Justice Department suing Georgia instead of Massachusetts?
Even CNN's Jake Tapper was forced to concede that "[Liberals] only complain about strict voting regulations in red states . . . and not in [blue] states."
The left insists that Trump's questions about 2020 are a hoax. But they parrot the idea that millions of minority Americans are unable to participate in the political system because of voter suppression. That's absurd. We elected a black president twice with record minority turnout.
There are dozens and dozens of black mayors in cities all across America – in Atlanta, Baltimore, Birmingham, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Kansas City, New Orleans, New York City, Richmond, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
As the respected numbers cruncher Michael Barone notes, "If anyone has been suppressing votes, they haven't been doing it very well," as turnout has increased by more than 50 million voters over the past 20 years.
The idea that minority Americans are disenfranchised is a hoax on the same level as the Russian collusion hoax!
