Stacey Abrams: “Black voters are disproportionately affected by the erasure…”

“Can Stacy walk through the math of how states with large black populations have so little representation for their black citizens? I feel an undercurrent recently where people are blaming the targets of voter suppression rather than the perpetrators. Black voters are disproportionately affected by the erasure of the Voting Rights Act. The blame the victim is always the case. It happens in every battle for power, and our responsibility is to fight back. I know you are disappointed because Democrats aren't running in every competition.” (07:49–07:54)
