Me and LeBron. 1 on 1. Discussing the VRA Sections 2 and 5 and the role they play in redistricting, the impact of Shelby v Holder on minority voting rights, and the role local election boards and commissions play on election day.
I believe I could get you to switch sides and reexamine the motives behind this cause.

It really mystifies me that people think LeBron urging black people to get out and vote and giving them tools to help them do it is somehow bad.

Not bad.

Bad

It was really bad yesterday. Definitely gave Stacey Abrams more ammo which sucks because she is the worst

So... The whites prolly early voted and had lots of volunteers and the black districts probably didn't.
I've covered local elections before. I went to an 80% black town and all the poll workers were elderly white women because that's all that would volunteer.
And it's only going to get worse. No one under 70 cares about volunteering for this kind of stuff anymore, but black precincts and neighborhoods are especially void of local volunteers.

He supported a Communist regime actively hunting it's own citizens. He lost any shred of credibility with that take.
He can pretend all he wants that he's this great humanitarian, but he made his choice. China >>>>>>>> any sense of morals.

Can't wait to hear Rep520's sheepish defense of this.

Actually there was proof and much reporting on this.
It doesn't support your narrative so you will ignore it or make an excuse, then you wonder why people are protesting.

Lebron’s voting rights group is very unlikely to help or impact issues like tech problems with voting machines or lack of volunteers in Fulton County GA, even though that’s a specific example highlighted.
This is all about turnout, Dems have a turnout issue. Black voter % declined in 2016 election for the first time in 20 years. Decline in black votes from 2012 to 2016 was 7% which is pretty drastic.

And they'll keep voting for the Democrats because they refuse to actually educate themselves instead of being told what to do.

Is there any person or group out there pushing to abolish the right to vote for blacks?

Nope. Just want to have the same rules for everyone, which is apparently racist.
