Douglas Brinkley: ‘There Will Be No Country if We Don’t Have Historic and Epic Voting in 2024’

EXCERPT:

BRINKLEY: “But, alas, here we are in 2023, due to gerrymandering, due to police force intimidation, due to corrupt state officials and more, we’re finding pockets of the country where people are terrified to go vote that they’re going to be targeted. I have talked to a lot of Latino voters who don’t vote because they said they might have a cousin that’s here illegally from Mexico or Venezuela or somewhere and they don’t want to go and show up and vote because people will be there photographing them and somehow connecting it to their family. There are all sorts of old Jim Crow type of voter intimidation activities going on, and we just have to ignore them and bust the perpetrators of them. But people have to vote. There will be no country if we don’t have historic and epic voting in 2024.”
