Only vigilance will curtail the dark work of voter suppression by groups such as True the Vote

Only vigilance will curtail the dark work of voter suppression by groups such as True the Vote
"It will take more than a few rules, of course, to keep the dark forces from trying to suppress the vote at the polls. As we have seen for decades, and in a heightened form this clear, clearing obstacles from citizens' right to cast a ballot free from harassment and worse is forever a work in progress. Whether in the courts, the legislatures or head-to-head with the intimidators right at the polls, liberals must remain in the forefront of a struggle that has cost the lives of more than a few Americans whose sole reason for being victimized was their belief that they and everyone else had a constitutionally guaranteed right to choose their representatives."
