That's awesome. Sad that they gutted the Voting Rights Act. The extension of voting is a victory for proud Americans.

if everyone who wants to vote, actually can vote!

It seems like Dem lawyers, this year, are being proactive about fighting vote suppression before the election, instead of just doing a lot of hand-wringing after the election.

Good news!

But it is infuriating and sad that we have allowed voter suppression tactics behind the scenes to become so endemic that lines like this occur in the first place. Voting should not be this difficult!
