Republicans want to hide behind Juneteenth while they enable modern-day racism

Republicans who forthrightly reject former president Donald Trump’s lie that the election was stolen from him, such as Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.), are ostracized. In dozens of states controlled by the GOP, legislatures are passing bill after bill aimed at purging voter rolls, curbing voter registration, and restricting voting hours and locations, all in ways clearly aimed at disenfranchising voters of color. These voters, not coincidentally, tend to vote for Democrats.
