More than 1,000 US polling sites closed since supreme court ruling, report finds
Jurisdictions once monitored by the justice department for racially discriminatory voting practices have collectively closed more than 1,000 polling places since a watershed 2013 US supreme court ruling released the jurisdictions from oversight, according to a new watchdog report.

The closures could disproportionately disenfranchise voters of color, especially when combined with restrictive voter ID laws, gerrymandering and aggressive voter roll purges, the report warned. Last month, a separate study found that US election jurisdictions with histories of egregious voter discrimination have been purging voter rolls at a rate 40% beyond the national average.

The top three states for polling site closures were Texas (–750), Arizona (–320), and Georgia (–214), which all have Republican leadership.

"I haven't met anyone that loves their premiums"
 
Interesting that all the candidates that couldn't stay funded by individual donors (everyone but Warren and Bernie) has now pivoted to a insurance company support.

Castro is spot on with the opt-in criticism "Are you forgetting what you said two minutes ago"
 
Castro not letting the corporate attack dog Pete get his weak angle in. I'm liking Castro here
 
Has *anyone* seen a poll where #1 concern is racism? It's usually a top 3 of immigration, healthcare, and economy in some order.
