There is a strategy, I suspect, in the failure to pass another relief bill, especially having to do with evictions. People without a fixed address cannot vote. Evictions are highest in cities--where there are generally more Dems than in the rural areas--and among communities of color. This is not just a cynical expansion of extreme misery for the unemployed and the working poor, it is designed to prevent people from voting.

I don't think I am paranoid in believing that every. single. thing. coming out of this White House and the GOP is part of the plan to suppress the vote.

A good and sorrowful point.

I wonder if there's a way that advocates can help these folks who are being evicted find a new place to live--with a relative, perhaps, or whatever it takes. Then as soon as they have a new address, help them register to vote in the new location.
