Myth or Truth: COVID, the Democratic Plot to Win the US Elections and the Burden and Difficulty of Republican to find Proof
By: Renaldo McKenzie
INTRODUCTION
“Absentee Ballots” and or “Mail-in Ballots” or “Drop-Boxes” create problems for Democracy. That’s what the #SupremeCourt is grappling with today as #Republicans push massive #voter suppression #laws across the #US, admitting that they can’t win without making it harder for #Black and #Brown #Democrat-leaning people to #vote. And guess what? They may be Right! Let’s not pretend that Mail-in voting didn’t create a unique situation in especially Black households where Black-men and many young people do not vote. But they live in households that do.
The “Mammas”
The “#Mammas” organize and lead the family votes in the home. In 2016 Mrs. Hilary Clinton didn’t have the privilege of Mail-in ballots that would ensure that enough Black vote turned out on #Election Day for her and the Democrats. That’s the problem; Black and Brown Democrat-leaning people don’t usually get involved in the politics of voting. They are suspicious of political leaders and the system that have largely disenfranchised them. The conclusion for them is that nothing really changes in the society, irrespective of who is in charge, does nothing to ultimately change their plight. The GOP made sure that this pessimism was cemented and fermented in the minds of Black and Brown voters, especially during the Obama presidency. Even after Mr. Obama fought to pass the #AffordableCareAct and cut taxes for the poor mainly Black and Brown people and the working class during the economic recession which began in 2008, despair and doubt about elections and #Obama remained. Black and Brown people became even more withdrawn from elections, and the massive democratic campaigns to get them to exercise their voting rights, which was only obtained since 1964, seem to have fallen on deaf ears.
