When we were writing this piece, and I'm so proud to be working with Professor Kim Shepple from Princeton University. But the point of this is these things can happen simultaneously. We are actually watching step 10 unfold as well. When Texas gerrymandered in the middle of the decade to intentionally strip people of color of their voting power and to hand power to a political party, that was step 10. When Georgia purged 471,000 voters with very clear understanding of what effect it would have on on minority voters, that was step 10. We are watching this happen around the country. (06:00–06:13)
