moment for us democracy. he was in georgia today, calling on the us senate to create national rules to stop what democrats have described as voter suppresion by republican states. democrats are calling for congress to restore civil rights act era federal oversight of election rules, to be applied to states with the most diverse populations. these would require federal approval for congressional boundaries, to stop alleged gerrymandering by ethnicity. they would also clamp down on measures like state voter id. but they are at present blocked from legislating by senate filibuster rules, which require bipartisan agreement to progress. jim crow 2.0 is about two insidious things voter suppression and election subversion. it s no longer about who gets to vote, it s about making it harder to vote.
