The MAGA Supreme Court blocked an effort to hear an appeal to get a strict citizens-only \"show your papers\" voting suppression law on Michigan's ballot. The Court dealt a major defeat to the MAGA Republican effort to make voting more difficult for the working class in this country. The so-called \"Americans For Citizens Voting-Michigan\" tried to get the initiative on the ballot this November. However, the group failed to gather enough VALID signatures to qualify for the ballot, which is funny considering how the group claims to fight against voter fraud. As Pat Johnston explains, this was another effort to institute a modern-day poll tax on voters, and thankfully, it lost. But don't be fooled. MAGA Republicans and The Epstein Class will return with a renewed effort to block as many American citizens voting as possible.
