Black voter turnout is surging this year, despite GOP attempts to weaken Black voting power

Just months after the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act and Donald Trump initiated a multi-state gerrymandering effort, Black voter turnout for the midterms is surging. Scott Colom, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Mississippi explains why his state is very much in play this year.

My comments:

Scott Colom has run a quiet campaign and he deserves a lot more recognition and attention than he has received thus far.

Be sure and cast your vote. And encourage others to do the same.

Don’t let the tRUMP crimes, lies, bigotry, and using the Office of the President to enrich himself and his family.

Unfortunately, religion still plays a major role with black voters, to the benefit of MAGA bigots.

@Northwest Yes, especially in the South and rural areas.

Scott Colom’s opponent, Hyde-Smith, supported Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, joining other far-right senators in voting to object to the certification of Arizona's and Pennsylvania's electoral votes.

Why does she support a treasonous incompetent who led a VIOLENT INSURRECTION that wounded over 140 Capitol Police Officers who were out there literally putting their lives at risk to PROTECT HER!?!?! Boy, that’s some kind of screwed up “loyalty”—disenfranchising her own constituents to support an incompetent pedophile….

It’s a clear choice in Mississippi!

@KunsanVeteran Thanks, I can't get the cartoon to display properly here. I usually link to external image sources (like reddit) so I don't use up my quota. I couldn't find a reliable external link for this one. UPDATE: I've linked to facebook. Those links tend to die after several weeks, but it's the best I can do at the moment.
