Hi, I'm Alexandra Eaton, one of the producers on this video. My partner, Kassie Bracken, and I have spent the past year exploring what works and what doesn't in the decentralized U.S. election system for a four-part series called Stressed Election. In each episode, we visit a state to explore a problem in detail, and then look at how it affects the nation as a whole. Stay tuned for our next episodes - we’re looking at voting laws, voting by mail, voting technology and disinformation.
The only time I ever waited more than 15 minutes was in 2008. Obama won. Huge crowds of minorities voted with me. This is not a real problem in the US.
@Paul Kryder Yes. Voting is compulsory, unless you have a good reason not to (as determined by the AEC) or pay a $20 administrative fee: www.aec.gov.au/Elections/non-voters.htm This is only for federal elections - the individual states make their own rules. Elections are compulsory in every state too I believe, but not in the two territories.
@Cliff Warden LOL one thing is for sure he is so stupid he doesn't realize it's "his" people in charge of those polling stations not those scary Republicans.
They're using facts, and citing bipartisan sources while talking to experienced people. This is not propaganda, this is fact. Please do this country a favor and do some research if you are unsure of the validity of these issues. Check a plethora of data, research, and articles concerning the subject in both sides before you attack someone's work.
But it say something bad about daddy trump and the publicans, therefore librul radical left communist antifa Chinese propaganda. Duh, don't you ever watch facebook ads?
But let's be honest, if you're that far down the Republican/Trump pipeline. You don't care about reality anymore. It has gotten beyond 'opinion' and 'perspective' and at this point its just cult-like 'faith'.
The reason so many people are disliking this video is because we(the people who have disliked) all see the extreme level of propaganda that is being pushed via this "report." Don't buy what our mainstream media is feeding you about America - they are ALL lying to ALL OF YOU.
I takes me around 5 Minutes to vote in Germany, yes, maybe a little bit more when you come in rush hours, but never more than 30 Minutes. We are ca. 22000 in town, divided in different districts to vote, my district has around 1000-1500 people, voting is sundays and starts at 0800 and ends at 1800. There are ten tables to sit in secret and vote.
I live in the U.S. Never a line. If I don’t want to drive, walk, bike, swim, or take a rickshaw to my polling place, I can request to vote by mail. (P.S. We’re more than a half-century out of the 1960s.)
In switzerland everyone gets their ballots mailed home without having to register anywhere. Pretty much everyone also votes by mail. I have never even heard of anyone i know actually going to a polling place on voting day.
@@Soff1859 I have lived all over America. Some states (e.g. Colorado) will almost automatically register you when you get a driver's license and then mail you a ballot. Others, like Ohio, are so zealous in their voter registration purges that they just narrowly avoided 'erroneously' purging 40,000 people from their records. In the US, basic human rights are often won or lost at the State level...
Well a woman in Atlanta did receive a voter registration for her deceased cat. I’d say Georgia has some concerning issues regarding their voting system.
@@thomaszhang5437 True I live in a pretty diverse area and it being NY not many people here vote. What they do is they have two voting stations right across from eachother in the neighborhood over. It makes it more confusing on which one to go to. But I still think it's not a total race issue I think there's a few things at play.
Even when we do get to vote, our votes in the presidential election are diluted by the electoral college. Who I vote for president doesn't matter because I don't live in a swing state.
T J Denying voter suppression is an issue in the US today is simply wrong to do. If you’d watched the video, you would know why you were wrong to deny its magnitude.

TrueNerd did you read my comment? Voters should have to show identification in order to vote. To answer your question if your not a registered voter you don’t vote.
OneTruth Given, maybe in the sixties. Back in the eighties everyone needed their state ID and voters registration card to vote. Liberals think that blacks don’t know how to get a state ID. Their the true racist with their white savior BS.
@@wilfredpeake9987 I would if i could... BUT state like the DemocRATS controlled California want illegal's to vote for them. So they push ageist the hole Voter ID. Voter ID could be done at the same time and place as driver licenses. And should use Birth records with SSN numbers. Back check though the SSN admin.
@@Banks_7 Ya I caught that, so you take that 2 second clip as evidence that the NYT's is "blaming Trump and the federal government." for voter suppression? Seems like a bit of a stretch. And I love that you complain about "Activists pretending to be journalists"...and then proceed to extol Project Veritas as some bastion of truth and objectivity. Now that's rich.
I myself live in Sandy Springs, and though I do have to say that the percentage of white people here is closer to 60%, that library is 100% in a richer part of town, away from the lower income housing which is generally filled by minorities. I haven't personally seen voting places in the poorer parts of Sandy Springs, but based off of what I've seen in other parts of GA, I would say it is 100% harder for minorities to vote than white people, even in somewhat-democrat Sandy Springs.
Think about this: America does not need to see the tax returns of a billionaire who became a public servant America needs to see the tax returns of public servants who becomes millionaires while being public servants.
Not sure why you'd think these are mutually exclusive. America needs to see the tax returns of everyone who runs to become a public servant up to and during the entire time they are a public servant. Full stop. You are a servant. A subordinate of the people. You want public office, your privacy is forfeit. That is how you limit power.
He corrected to illegal immigrants, but it's more or less when the state pretends you aren't breaking the law in order to expand their political power.
I can't believe that I thought the US is a country that is representing democracy and that there was no such thing as discrimination. I think the thing happening is not supposed to happen, it's 2020.
T Bone because you can only have one type of ID not including passport (book and/or card) and they give you paper ID which can not even be used at a real ID at the airport
In some parts of the US they have more than one day to vote. Wouldn't be surprised if he purposefully chose the worst time to vote. Heck he didn't even do mail voting so...
Oh Man ! Seriously? What’s going on in those United States? Is it deteriorating into autocracy? Thank you from the rest of the world. Thank you for voting.... for standing in that line for so long!
If you really look at our politics, autocracy isn't a far cry from what has long been established in our government. If you are not a Democrat or a Republican, your chance at getting anywhere in your political career is almost nil (the only exception is Bernie Sanders and once he is gone, there will likely be no independent politicians again). And in case nobody has noticed, even though both sides seem to stand for completely different values, they really are just two sides of the same coin, which is why we are notorious for flipping sides roughly every 8 years, as if going to the other side of the coin will fix things, repeat ad nauseum. Trump has been the only person who has no experience as a politician before becoming president and it shows. But I refuse to accept polls and all of the positive spin on Biden until all is said and done because we were fed the same crap about Hillary, and look what happened there. We are not autocratic yet, but we are definitely duopolistic.
That’s not true. You should really look into this topic. Get into the nifty gritty of it. Do the research. I’d quote stuff now but I want to make sure I’m accurate. I will circle back if you haven’t indicated you’ve looked into it.
I went voting in a local election yesterday, it took 5 min. Walk in, get a paper slip, make a cross, drop it in a box, done. Didn't need a special ID either, just the general one. EU btw
@Rusty Shackleford Project Veritas lost all of their credibility when they deceptively cherry picked and cut the WaPo reporter's words during their whole metoo sting. If voter fraud is so real, how come Trump spent millions of taxpayer dollars on his voter fraud commission and turned up nothing? Source: apnews.com/article/f5f6a73b2af546ee97816bb35e82c18d I know for a fact that mail in voting was active in Oregon during the 2016 election, and yet not a single case of voter fraud was found there, but Trump's own voter fraud commission. Just like how there shouldn't be any restrictions on your constitutional right to own a gun, I don't think there should be any restrictions on your right to vote. For both constitutionally protected rights, we should only ever look at possibly enacting restrictions if people are using their rights to violate others' rights.
@@calebjiang4056 He's talking about the EU, so it'd be weird to apply class concepts like "rich suburbs" to the situation in EU. Regardless, that's been my voting experience too - though sometimes when the turnout is very high, people do have to vote in lines for 1-2hrs (but that doesn't last all day, so you could probably just come back later). Anyway it's not that big of a deal, since election day is always a national holiday. And AFAIK, most countries don't use voting machines or anything like that. Just paper ballots & a pen.
Voting is not difficult in USA either FYI. A lot of celebrity activists who endorse whatever democrat Hollywood tells them too have never voted either. But lord will they tell you how difficult it is.
So a black man in office means racism is dead? Golly Gee, I didn’t know that!! That’s breaking news lil buddy!! We gotta go tell the whole world that racism is dead!! YAYYYYY!!! STFU you obviously have no clue how elections work in America. I’m not really sure how Obama being President really fixes voter disenfranchisement, especially since elections are generally handled by the states themselves… but whatever you say bud. Obama was truly chosen by the people TWICE and Trump was not, get over it.

Thank you 2 Ladies for bringing this forward to the attention of all voters, things that happen like this should be brought forth to the attention of all Americans, thank you Alex.🇺🇸
Our voting system is antiquated and an embarrassment when put in the context of what we have achieved technologically. If you are not a felon, have a valid ID, and are a citizen, you should be allowed to vote in under an hour.
@teek75ifty We have the technology to securely do this. We only lack the collective will. Simplicity is a sign of genius. Complexity is the tool of of choice for those not wanting to negate their position of status or control.
@teek75ifty Wow. You must be really unhappy with your life to feel the need to engage in personal character attacks. You know, I've been there before my friend, so I get it. Attack away. I'm more then happy to be the target if it brings some sense of happiness to your day 😉
@Rusty Shackleford Guess we should just keep doing it the same way then. I'm sure it's far to complicated for a nation that has landed vehicles on other planets to figure out how to improve their voting system. And who are these random people suggesting we can do better?? Man, people need to learn to just shut up and not say anything 🙄
@jacob earwood Yeah, it's those "black" people again. Wow, I didn't think it was possible to turn my initial comment into a racial issue. But you found a way 👍
Voted on last Tuesday (declared as state public holiday) for local elections - less than 5 mins Thanks India 🇮🇳 Edit : polling booth - less than 1 min away from my home.
Pax Aurora OK .. under 18 cannot vote. Where’s their right? Illegals can’t vote yet live here, where’s their right? I’m sure you’ve heard ALL the talking points.. Can’t buy cigs, liquor, drive, etc. I just find it ironic how ID’s are required for ANYTHING but voting. Personally I feel if you don’t pay taxes, you shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Why? Because it will be voting for self interest instead of what’s best for all. Always voting for free stuff that the taxpayer has to pay. Akin to your kids determining what you must pay them in the form of an allowance... Nice to debate without everyone having a smart 4ss attitude, though! The US is about the only country left where you don’t have to prove who you are. 99.9% of all other countries require ID. Why? To prevent voter fraud...
@@badkarma6181 now there’s some good ones in there. however i believe that people under 18 still shouldn’t vote, because they’re supposed to be being educated and maturing enough to formulate their own opinions. kids are suggestible, agreeable, and impulsive, which are three things that don’t belong in a voting booth. illegals too, because they’re not full legal citizens of the country and thus don’t have the same liberties as a legal citizen would. since ID is required for voting, it is mostly law abiding taxpayers who vote, which i agree is a good thing. there will always be outliers of course, but grand scheme there mostly isn’t the issue of people voting for selfish impulses like that. what i find more concerning is the amount of misinformation out there designed to skew the common person’s perspective and shift their vote to one candidate or the other.
Only in some states, Bloomberg just paid the fines of 16,000 felons in Florida so they can vote. In Florida felons can’t vote if they still have unpaid fines.
IT'S THE STATES RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE ENOUGH VOTING BOOTHS AND LOCATIONS FOR THE NUMBER OF REGISTERED VOTERS IN ANY PARTICULAR AREA. IF IT'S NOT BEING PROVIDED FOR THEN GO AFTER YOUR LOCAL AND STATE OFFICIALS WHOS JOB IT IS TO MAKE SURE IT'S DONE RIGHT !!! BTW I SEE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH A FEDERALLY ISSUED MANDATORY VOTER I.D. CARD !!!
Showing ID is not voter suppression. Any state ID would do and everyone has one or they can’t function in our society. What BS. You lost me right there in this video by being dishonest.
Voter ID in and of itself is not suppression, but the people it tends to affect are disproportionally the poor; voter ID is not free and will usually require a bunch of documents that sometimes also cost money. There's also an added cost in some States to go to a specific gouvernement office and some of those offices are only open during the weekday/during work hours. Combine all of these together and what you end up is roughly 11% of Americans not having a government issued photo ID (www.brennancenter.org/sites/default/files/legacy/d/download_file_39242.pdf). So I agree with you that it's not suppression in and of itself, but the government should definitely make better attempts at making getting an ID an easier (if not mandatory) process for citizens. The US lags behind many other developed nations when it comes to that.
Christopher Dang do you actually believe that? I used to be poor, on food stamps, hung out with people on section 8 and food stamps and government assisted living. All of them had an ID or they couldn’t get their benefits. Not many of them were interested in voting though.
Yes it does. So why didn't they have more polling places open? If the person in charge in the state knew places were going to close down why didn't they go and find a new one? Why did they make laws that disproportionately affect people of color? Sure they say its to prevent voter fraud. But there has been no evidence of fraud to begin with being about .002 percent. That number hasn't changed at all so what was the point of the law? The laws didnt help fight anything and there are plain statistics that say that the laws effect people of color more often. So if they have that information then why do they not repeal these laws? Its almost like the population percentage of color people in one county plays a huge role.
@Cliff Warden first of all that is not what I qas going for at alll here. I was talking about voter suppression. You went a totally different route. It is extremely clear you are a racist. Before you say anything about me being dumb or some kind of sjw. Look up the definition. You are grouping a certain skin color together and have a prejudice a pre conceived notion about them. Saying they are the reasom the area changed.
@Cliff Warden white flight is racist, whites staying in the neighborhood is racist (gentrification). there's nothing you can do right, you should just off yourselves.
From Ginsburg's dissent: "[t]hrowing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet." All the same, preclearance should have applied everywhere, states get to run their own elections, given that they provide equal, non-discriminatory access.
@@mrhouse6886 what you describe is unjust, yes - but at least the liberalism (neo-capitalism) that Republicans embrace can justify this kind of corporate model It doesnt seem like your example shows a violation of the right to equality - a constitutional right! At least not explicitly/obviously Whats so shocking about this voter suppression stuff is that any layperson can see that it's explicitly a violation of equality. Hence I ask, how do god fearing Republicans justify it in their minds?
I don't see how requiring an ID that is quite literally REQUIRED FOR EVERYTHING in society can be considered voter suppression. It insures VOTE INTEGRITY.
Nothing is real anymore. Anyone can say anything and people will assume it's based in truth because people in general are good natured and trusting. Especially if coming from a place of authority, such as a massive media company like the NYT.
Witnessed this in Houston, TX. My parent’s has voting at the schools across the street hours waiting in lines. Me in the Lilly white neighborhood I live in is always in and out
@Catoosa Dawg Ha. So, you know our numbers are arabic, right? You know much of US research today is done by non US citizens? That many of the entrepreneurs you idolize are sons and daughters of immigrants? You know most of technology was made by a myriad of different people from different places and improved by other people? You know white people also were "guilty" of the only 2 world wars there has been, a genocide, and most of climate change? And that's not even talking about slave trade, the murders with the discovery of america, and many other things. And I'm white dude.
In 2012, it took me just under 8 hours to vote in Gwinnett County, just like the Fulton County man at the beginning of the video. In the 2014 and 2016 elections, I drove to the extra white north side of the county and got in and out in under an hour. In 2018, I went back to my local place and waited an hour before other folks in line advised me that disabled people (I need a cane these days) can go to the front of the line. If I had stayed in line where I was, it would have been another couple of hours. It's very clear to me that the voting machines are allocated according to the race of the electorate in that part of the county.
@@notashroom Gwinnett County is the Atlanta metro area = Blue City The fact is, Gwinett is a so-called "reverse pivot county" that swings back and forth between democrat and republican... and it quite likely never would swing democrat if not for the fact Atlanta is a Blue City.

Alex. And Kassie: When will the collapse in values and egalitarian behavior reach rock bottom? Why must raw power always be granted a win based on overall failure? Why do Secessionists always get the brass ring?
My voting experience in 2016 was 5 hours in Florida. 4 of those hours were the machines not working. I live in the suburbs also. I was only asked for my drivers license and my voter ID. They checked I was registered to vote. I got to the machine and it looked like a 90's giant printer that was falling apart. I was like WTF lol.
The first episode in our 4 part series, making excuses for why we're probably going to lose again... but then blame it on everything other than having a crappy candidate.
Wait they are making this a color issue when the guy in begining of video walks up to line he had to wait for 7 hours and there were at least 10 white people right in front of him!
I’m not a fan of the 1619 project nor BLM but It really is a crying shame this country had has and will continue to have an unhealthy obsession-paranoia with race due to a legacy of slavery.
you still don't know any of it. How about we look at all the suburban polls yesterday that had endless problems, yet inner city and urban areas had no issues at all. Same systems. It isn't about race or inequality. It's about controlling the voting by those in power. You realize that now Democrats own the election processes in nearly every swing state in the country right? And here we go again. They expect a loss, what do you know, systems aren't working and we have to have Dominion come in and 'fix' them, no verification, no audit before use that is MANDATED by all election rules. Except, they can show up day of, when 'unexplained' system problems happen and make unchecked and supervised changes. then right after the election, well, then it is time for the system 'maintenance' and upgrades....good bye data and status to protect visibility from auditing eyes.....pathetic management of our election processes, They should all be fired!
I live in GA and will vote NO MATTER WHAT!! I plan on showing up with food, drink, chair, book...It's sad that it is this way but change only comes in the U.S when "We the People" change it. I hope that the new BIDEN/HARRIS administration will make Voting Rights one of the first things that they address. #BLUEWAVE
In 2006 the House & Senate had unanimously authorized section 5 of the Voter’s Protection Act, established to prevent jurisdictions with a history of implementing discriminatory voting practices from making any changes without clearing it federally in advance. The changes that took place over the years to come, along with a divided Supreme Court Decision that overturned this provision is what effectively ended the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Therefore, it timed out/expired in 2017. So, to answer your question, no. This wasn’t an issue back in 2008 or 2012.
The one thing I don't get about America is that states pass laws on federal elections. Shouldn't it be the role of the federal government to make laws on federal elections? In Australia, which has a federal system much like the US, the federal government makes laws on federal elections, and the states on state elections. We also have both a federal and individual state independent election commissions whose jobs is to manage and count the elections as well as update district boundaries. I mean why should it be the job of politicians to decide their own districts?
That's the point. States have the right to regulate and shape its own election processes. However, the US Constitution says that under Article I, Section 4, Clause 1: The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of choosing Senators. So in the next election cycle, voters can and should ask how their representatives will fix the issue.
The guy at the end is awesome, “we can put a Tesla in space but can’t vote.” I love the sentiment but Tesla is run by a genius and our government is ran by a bleached chimpanzee.
In Sweden the longest I've waited to vote I think is five minutes. I showed up, didn't understand the line system since there were so few people in line, and wasted three minutes wandering around before I could get going. It took me four minutes to walk there from my house.
Unfortunately, I did not understand why for especially the Black Community voting is so difficult. Why these waiting lines and hours spent to just set a cross? Could somebody please sum it up for me?
Basically closing polling stations in areas with a high black, student and growing minority population, while White suburban area numbers stay the same. PLus also gerrymandering areas so that high black populated areas have their voted count for less
I live in Ireland, it takes me about 20 minutes to vote and always has. (30 minutes including the walk to the voting station). True, Ireland only has the population of a single US state (Just under 5 million, about the same as South Carolina or Alabama) . Still, the entire country votes in one day by pen and paper ballot, and the votes are usually counted 3-4 days after. I can't understand how the US got like this, and frankly it scares me that a system can be so corrupt from a 3rd party perspective and yet so many people inside it seem oblivious.
you have 18 days for early voting and absentee voting through the mail. But if you go on the actual day of voting, yeah you're going to probably stand in a long line.
I’m so tired of all these idiots blaming Dems or Republicans for US shortcomings. I don’t care if it’s a republican or dem in the White House, I just want Trump out of office. He’s not a good president, America is worse than it’s ever been and people are blaming other citizens for problems with the government. Biden isn’t great but it’s an either or situation and he’s way more competent.
Watching this from another country (Germany) is so surreal. Nobody here even thinks about the possibility of the right to vote beeing surpressed. I recently read that the 2020 election could bring up record numbers of voting, 60 to 70%. 70% is the lowest we ever had here! (highest was >90%). Just the fact that you vote on a tuesday, not sunday.

Some states (e.g. Colorado) will almost automatically register you when you get a driver's license and then mail you a ballot.

Thank you from the rest of the world. Thank you for voting.... for standing in that line for so long!
If you really look at our politics, autocracy isn't a far cry from what has long been established in our government. If you are not a Democrat or a Republican, your chance at getting anywhere in your political career is almost nil (the only exception is Bernie Sanders and once he is gone, there will likely be no independent politicians again). And in case nobody has noticed, even though both sides seem to stand for completely different values, they really are just two sides of the same coin, which is why we are notorious for flipping sides roughly every 8 years, as if going to the other side of the coin will fix things, repeat ad nauseum. Trump has been the only person who has no experience as a politician before becoming president and it shows. But I refuse to accept polls and all of the positive spin on Biden until all is said and done because we were fed the same crap about Hillary, and look what happened there. We are not autocratic yet, but we are definitely duopolistic.

I know for a fact that mail in voting was active in Oregon during the 2016 election, and yet not a single case of voter fraud was found there, but Trump's own voter fraud commission.
Just like how there shouldn't be any restrictions on your constitutional right to own a gun, I don't think there should be any restrictions on your right to vote. For both constitutionally protected rights, we should only ever look at possibly enacting restrictions if people are using their rights to violate others' rights.
@@calebjiang4056 He's talking about the EU, so it'd be weird to apply class concepts like "rich suburbs" to the situation in EU.

Our voting system is antiquated and an embarrassment when put in the context of what we have achieved technologically. If you are not a felon, have a valid ID, and are a citizen, you should be allowed to vote in under an hour.

I just find it ironic how ID’s are required for ANYTHING but voting. Personally I feel if you don’t pay taxes, you shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Why?
Because it will be voting for self interest instead of what’s best for all. Always voting for free stuff that the taxpayer has to pay. Akin to your kids determining what you must pay them in the form of an allowance...
Nice to debate without everyone having a smart 4ss attitude, though! The US is about the only country left where you don’t have to prove who you are. 99.9% of all other countries require ID. Why? To prevent voter fraud...
@@badkarma6181 now there’s some good ones in there.
however i believe that people under 18 still shouldn’t vote, because they’re supposed to be being educated and maturing enough to formulate their own opinions. kids are suggestible, agreeable, and impulsive, which are three things that don’t belong in a voting booth.
illegals too, because they’re not full legal citizens of the country and thus don’t have the same liberties as a legal citizen would.
since ID is required for voting, it is mostly law abiding taxpayers who vote, which i agree is a good thing. there will always be outliers of course, but grand scheme there mostly isn’t the issue of people voting for selfish impulses like that. what i find more concerning is the amount of misinformation out there designed to skew the common person’s perspective and shift their vote to one candidate or the other.

What is so controversial about voter ID? It’s common sense!
Showing ID is not voter suppression. Any state ID would do and everyone has one or they can’t function in our society. What BS. You lost me right there in this video by being dishonest.
GoTocco thank you! My thoughts exactly.
Voter ID in and of itself is not suppression, but the people it tends to affect are disproportionally the poor; voter ID is not free and will usually require a bunch of documents that sometimes also cost money. There's also an added cost in some States to go to a specific gouvernement office and some of those offices are only open during the weekday/during work hours. Combine all of these together and what you end up is roughly 11% of Americans not having a government issued photo ID (www.brennancenter.org/sites/default/files/legacy/d/download_file_39242.pdf). So I agree with you that it's not suppression in and of itself, but the government should definitely make better attempts at making getting an ID an easier (if not mandatory) process for citizens. The US lags behind many other developed nations when it comes to that.
Watch 8:36. Showing ID is necessary but it still has its problem.
Christopher Dang do you actually believe that? I used to be poor, on food stamps, hung out with people on section 8 and food stamps and government assisted living. All of them had an ID or they couldn’t get their benefits. Not many of them were interested in voting though.
It’s almost like population density plays a huge role.
Yes it does. So why didn't they have more polling places open? If the person in charge in the state knew places were going to close down why didn't they go and find a new one? Why did they make laws that disproportionately affect people of color? Sure they say its to prevent voter fraud. But there has been no evidence of fraud to begin with being about .002 percent. That number hasn't changed at all so what was the point of the law? The laws didnt help fight anything and there are plain statistics that say that the laws effect people of color more often. So if they have that information then why do they not repeal these laws? Its almost like the population percentage of color people in one county plays a huge role.

From Ginsburg's dissent: "[t]hrowing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet."

Also. I am surprised how in the States of allll places in the world, it seems so difficult to make voting work. That is ridiculous.
I live in GA and will vote NO MATTER WHAT!! I plan on showing up with food, drink, chair, book...It's sad that it is this way but change only comes in the U.S when "We the People" change it. I hope that the new BIDEN/HARRIS administration will make Voting Rights one of the first things that they address. #BLUEWAVE
There was no problem in 2008 or 2012.....hhhmmmmm
Most interesting right?
In 2006 the House & Senate had unanimously authorized section 5 of the Voter’s Protection Act, established to prevent jurisdictions with a history of implementing discriminatory voting practices from making any changes without clearing it federally in advance. The changes that took place over the years to come, along with a divided Supreme Court Decision that overturned this provision is what effectively ended the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Therefore, it timed out/expired in 2017. So, to answer your question,
no. This wasn’t an issue back in 2008 or 2012.
The one thing I don't get about America is that states pass laws on federal elections. Shouldn't it be the role of the federal government to make laws on federal elections? In Australia, which has a federal system much like the US, the federal government makes laws on federal elections, and the states on state elections. We also have both a federal and individual state independent election commissions whose jobs is to manage and count the elections as well as update district boundaries. I mean why should it be the job of politicians to decide their own districts?
That's the point. States have the right to regulate and shape its own election processes.
However, the US Constitution says that under Article I, Section 4, Clause 1:
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of choosing Senators.
So in the next election cycle, voters can and should ask how their representatives will fix the issue.
Sounds like a constitutional amendment is required
Keep it up great content.
Imagine waiting 7hrs in line to vote for Joe Biden 🤣🤣
Why would you go to vote for Joe Biden in the first place is beyond me.
The guy at the end is awesome, “we can put a Tesla in space but can’t vote.”
I love the sentiment but Tesla is run by a genius and our government is ran by a bleached chimpanzee.
In Sweden the longest I've waited to vote I think is five minutes. I showed up, didn't understand the line system since there were so few people in line, and wasted three minutes wandering around before I could get going. It took me four minutes to walk there from my house.
Unfortunately, I did not understand why for especially the Black Community voting is so difficult. Why these waiting lines and hours spent to just set a cross?
Could somebody please sum it up for me?
Basically closing polling stations in areas with a high black, student and growing minority population, while White suburban area numbers stay the same.
PLus also gerrymandering areas so that high black populated areas have their voted count for less
So... Democrat run cities in blue AND in red states make it hard for people to vote? Cool story.
Activist journalism = cute spin. Nice try
I live in Ireland, it takes me about 20 minutes to vote and always has. (30 minutes including the walk to the voting station). True, Ireland only has the population of a single US state (Just under 5 million, about the same as South Carolina or Alabama) . Still, the entire country votes in one day by pen and paper ballot, and the votes are usually counted 3-4 days after.
I can't understand how the US got like this, and frankly it scares me that a system can be so corrupt from a 3rd party perspective and yet so many people inside it seem oblivious.
Idk why people even go voting
You still gonna live the same depressing life no matter who wins
Dam you good bro?
Stop promoting racial division !
Tell that to the racists.
you have 18 days for early voting and absentee voting through the mail. But if you go on the actual day of voting, yeah you're going to probably stand in a long line.
I’m so tired of all these idiots blaming Dems or Republicans for US shortcomings. I don’t care if it’s a republican or dem in the White House, I just want Trump out of office. He’s not a good president, America is worse than it’s ever been and people are blaming other citizens for problems with the government. Biden isn’t great but it’s an either or situation and he’s way more competent.
trump is great tho....so what you talking about?
This is so nonsensical.
Keep telling yourself that. We'll be out here enjoying being right.
@@rwrunning1813
No, you will keep enjoying supporting the most racist party in this nations history, the Democrats.
Watching this from another country (Germany) is so surreal. Nobody here even thinks about the possibility of the right to vote beeing surpressed. I recently read that the 2020 election could bring up record numbers of voting, 60 to 70%. 70% is the lowest we ever had here! (highest was >90%). Just the fact that you vote on a tuesday, not sunday.
Trumpets will find any reason to argue this.
I saw the traditional rural Georgia and thought of The Walking Dead
"illegal citizens" is the perfect freudian slip. kemp literally convincing himself that immigrants don't deserve to be here just as much as him.
Is this unbiased? I'm asking for a friend
Yes.
Jonas Savimbe they reporting the truth tho.
No!! This is garbage to scare people from voting in person.
Most of the big boy western countries have voter id in place.. also props to NYT i know you are not biased in any way
Thanks so much for doing this video.
How do we make a loud and clear message to the Dems- Vote flipping in person and vote the Dems out both locally n federally.
