YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

With a week left until Election Day, we want to talk about early voting and when early voting ends, but first, the last-minute attempts to suppress your vote.

There are billboards like this in minority neighborhoods in Ohio and Wisconsin. Folks, this is real simple. If you're registered to vote, you can vote. No fear. After significant protests against Clear Channel Outdoor, the billboards came down Friday, but the damage may have been done for some voters.

But the most dangerous late voter suppression effort is being waged by an organization called True the Vote, which hopes to train one million poll challengers. They will be at voting places, asking questions about documentation that is not actually needed

to vote.

DO NOT be intimidated. Simply vote. Ignore those folks who're trying to come after you and stop you from voting.
