Voter Suppression For Dummies---who say "What's the big deal?"

If voters in predominantly white precincts have a 20 minute wait to vote while predominantly black or brown precincts have a 10 HOUR wait, THAT is a Big Deal.

If a firearm owner ID card is sufficient "voter ID" but state university student ID is not, THAT is a Big Deal.

If the new polling place for inner-city residents is across town in a suburbsn mall not accessible by public transportation, THAT is a Big Deal.

And, if you can't see how the above favors wealthy white racists, THAT is a Big Deal.
