Schumer: Voter Suppression Laws in Republican States ‘Smack of Jim Crow Rearing Its Ugly Head Once Again’

‘Some of these voter suppression laws in Georgia and other Republican states smack of Jim Crow rearing its ugly head once again’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “I would like to ask my Republican colleagues why are you so afraid of democracy? Why, instead of trying to win voters over that you lost in the last election, are you trying to prevent them from voting? Our country has come a long way, supposedly, since African-Americans in the south were forced to guess the number of jelly beans in a jar in order to vote. But some of these voter suppression laws in Georgia and other Republican states smack of Jim Crow rearing its ugly head once again.”
