I’m very skeptical of arguments that there is voter suppression of minorities based on reasoning like:
an audit by the State of Washington found that a Black voter was 400% more likely than a white voter to have their mail-in ballot rejected.
since there could be another variable which, once controlled for, causes this difference to disappear. This article seems to be assume the reader has no understanding of statistics.
This is much more self-evidently indicative of voter suppression, in my opinion:
Brian Kemp, signed SB 202 which slashed the number of drop boxes by 75% only in Black-majority counties and locked them away at night.
But could this be explained by another variable, like higher crime rates in black-majority counties leading to a necessity for increased security? I don’t understand why this measure would cause a 90% decrease in drop-box balloting either. This article has a lot of red flags for me – it’s not actually explaining the reason for any of these measures, so it’s implying there is no reason for these measures except for voter suppression of minorities. Obviously that is not the rationale which those who implemented these measures would give publicly.
Except for all the data that says that they absolutely stole the election.

First and last links are the data. The middle links are for us stupid people that need to be told how to read the data in the last link.
