YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In the aftermath of the 2020 election, when Donald Trump lost and his supporters falsely claimed voter fraud, many Republican states tightened their voting laws.

One of those states was Georgia, which has a large Black population, and is one of this year's closely watched 'swing states'. In 2021, Georgia's state lawmakers enacted a series of measures which, among other things, made it illegal to hand out water to voters waiting in line. Critics say it's an example of voting restrictions which unfairly target minority communities.

For more on this, we talk to Christine Slaughter. She is an associate professor of political science at Boston University.
