But here’s the kicker that the mainstream media doesn’t want to tell you: these rejections weren’t random. A state audit in Washington found Black voters were four times more likely than white voters to have their mail-in ballots rejected.And that pattern repeated nationwide. In Florida, North Carolina, and Georgia, analyses showed that officials flagged Black voters’ mail ballots at more than twice the rate of white voters’ ballots.
Georgia became the test kitchen for the new Jim Crow cooking, with Gov. Brian Kemp as head chef. First, they used what Palast calls “Poison Postcards”: sending official-looking mail to targeted voters. When people (especially young, poor, and minority voters) didn’t return these postcards that looked like junk mail, they were purged from voter rolls. In Georgia, the response rate to these cards was barely above 1%.

Ok, we know it's just someone's opinion, but what if there's truth to it?
