That’s the part that immediately came to my mind. Why be so blatant about disenfranchising voters in a state that isn’t even in doubt? Is it about downballot races, or can they just not pass up an opportunity to be shitheads?
It’s not the focus of this post but that CNN page has passive voice levels usually reserved for cops

I will give the WaPo credit for running those articles but it is also true they could be truthfully and accurately running similar articles every day or at least multiple times a week. I am going to credit this as 1% of the WaPo’s obligation for honest reporting this year. Only 99% to go!
