--Oh and Florida banning (banning!) AP African American history ought to be enough of a mask off moment to wake up anyone who thought this was about some kind of historically unstable, politically charged courses.

@RADC @futurebird When I was in law school, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to take a class on voting rights.
There is no simple answer to your question, but registration requirements, polling place locations, voting tests, re-districting, fear, coercion, and confusion all play a part in voter disenfranchisement.
Also, the Supreme Court gutting the Voting Rights Act, which was designed to protect against many of these vectors.

@nicole @futurebird I can verify that becoming a citizen and attending the ceremony we were all required to sign a document stating our political affiliation before the ceremony began I checked independent because I was not educated to make that decision yet The ONLY restriction that put on me was the inability to vote in a primary election I had to choose a side BUT it did not stop me from voting for the President. I don’t believe these restrictions are valid
