Stacey Abrams on why the gutting of the Voting Rights Act is 'evil'

Published | Video Starts at 27:17

Voter suppression is, can you register and stay on the rolls? Can you cast a ballot and does that ballot get counted? And Georgia has perfected suppression of all three of those opportunities [registering, casting a ballot, and having it counted]. And yet every time they do so, we have to work a little bit harder to CIRCUMVENT their behavior. The Voting Rights act was never a perfect solution, but it was a cheat code to overwhelm voter suppression. (27:17–27:24)
