The City of Cleveland isn't going to cater to bigots and just to be sure, they changed an existing city law that let businesses decide the bathroom rules. Businesses used to be able to discriminate by to disallowing trans people to use a bathroom aligning with their gender identity, but no more.

Jennifer Bendry reported in Huffington Post, “Cleveland city officials unanimously passed legislation Wednesday to ensure that transgender people can use public bathrooms that match their gender identity ― a poke in the eye to GOP officials, including Donald Trump, who oppose such efforts and will be in the city next week for the Republican National Convention.”

This bathroom hysteria is based on nothing, as usual when Republicans are actually willing to address a “problem”. Vox reported:

Moreover, there’s no evidence that nondiscrimination laws — and other policies that also let trans people use the bathroom for their gender identity — lead to sexual assault in bathrooms and locker rooms. In two investigations, Media Matters confirmed with experts and officials in 12 states and 17 school districts with protections for trans people that they had no increases in sex crimes after they enacted their policies.

To steal money, you go to a bank, to steal an election, you go to minority neighborhoods.

The insidious secret of American election theft is how racist it is.
They steal votes from the locations that have the most votes to steal.

Black Votes Matter, especially when elections are being rigged.
