North Carolina’s new voter plan could block more than 100,000 people from state/local races over “missing info.”

These politicians don’t care if Americans die due to the lack of healthcare or food benefits they’re cutting. They know. They simply don’t care.
They have been funding and cheering on a genocide for nearly two years.
They are ok with working class Americans dying.
