2. Ever since the 1950 & 60s stopping people of color from voting has been the keystone for the Republicans

John Roberts was installed as Chief Justice of the SCOTUS after the Supreme Court and especially
Sandra Day O’Conner ruled that it was illegal to count the vote in Florida in 2000 and w was made
President and he put Roberts & Alito on the Supreme Court. The elimination of the voting rights act
has been the goal of the Republicans and the Federalist Society for years. Because they know that
very soon whites in America will become a minority and they want to keep power.

The coup continues and American democracy is in critical condition.

Btw when I was kid in N.W. PA our next door neighbor’s brother in a middle class neighborhood
was the Governor of PA, Ray Shafer, he was the finest man I have ever known, and he was a
Republican too.
