Activists and some elected officials raised concerns about voter suppression in the 2020 election long before Election Day. Longer lines at voting locations in predominantly Black neighborhoods than in White ones; disinformation on social media by Russian troll farms with the goal of suppressing Black turnout; new laws passed by state legislatures that effectively make it more difficult for Black people to vote; and attempts by the Trump campaign to keep voters from using all of the avenues available to them to cast their ballots are just some of the ways in which many Black voters faced a harder time casting their ballots in recent months and years.
Alarm was so great about the potential suppression of the Black vote that many saw it as a motivating factor for them to turn out.
Now the worry is that even though Black voters did turn out by the millions, President Trump and the GOP seem to want to retroactively suppress it. After the election, ahead of certifying its results, the Trump campaign’s efforts to keep the president in power despite Joe Biden’s clear win have involved challenging votes in places such as Detroit, the Milwaukee area and Georgia, in ways that would disproportionately disqualify votes cast by Black people.

altogether fitting that very poorly chosen one, who launched his political career with the racist birther lie, is now winding up his term in office with a coup attempt based upon a racist effort to throw out black votes
