GOP trying to reduce number of early voting days
Three days before early voting begins, @Louisiana_sos and @AGJeffLandry appeal a federal court ruling that, among other things, extends the number of early voting days. They seek an opinion from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. pic.twitter.com/IVtcDJx2Uf

Registration website goes down on last day of Registration, and also on voter registration day
Virginia, Florida, Louisiana systems shut down the night of registration deadline. GOP putting fake ballot boxes in California. Voters waiting NINE HOURS to vote. THAT is voter suppression, not whatever cow shit this is 🙄

Yesterday--on National Voter Registration Day-- Louisiana's GOP Secretary of State took the voter registration website down for "scheduled maintenance." Blatant voter suppression. https://t.co/htoGcAk9xg
