Protesters gather in Harris County to fight against voter suppression

The Attempts of Voter Suppression 2020 Presidential Election

--

This election will look a lot different than the ones before it. With the still present threat of the Coronavirus, other forms of voting such as drive through and mail in ballots are a necessity. However, these methods of voting have been put under scrutiny by Republicans, claiming they undemocratic and subject to fraud. There have been attempts in Harris county to disregard 127,000 drive through votes, attempts to suppress mail in ballots by restricting mail in locations, and attempts by President Trump to stop the count of mail in ballots after election day. More information can be found in the Instagram Live video below, where I go more in depth about the problem with voter suppression in the 2020 election.
