Nancy Pelosi: GOP Voter Suppression Jim Crow Laws Are There So They Can Overturn Elections

‘Senate Republicans voted to aid and abet the most dangerous campaign of voter suppression since Jim Crow’

EXCERPT:

PELOSI: “Yesterday, yesterday was such a sad day. Senate Republicans voted to aid and abet the most dangerous campaign of voter suppression since Jim Crow as they blocked a vote on the Freedom to Vote Act, hurting their own constituents and dishonoring the sanctity of the vote and our Constitution. The stakes could not be higher. State lawmakers have introduced 425 voting suppression bills in 49 states in the 2021 sessions alone. A number of them have become law. And they must be overturned and this legislation would do that. It would not only end the voter suppression laws but it would end the vote nullification laws. They’re there to overturn the results of an election.”
