Harsh punishments for Black Americans over voting errors spark outcry | The fight to vote

Pamela Moses was sentenced to six years for trying to vote while white people who committed more intentional acts of fraud merely received probation

Hello and Happy Thursday,

In an unexpected move last Friday, a Memphis judge ordered a new trial for Pamela Moses, the Black Lives Matter activist who was sentenced to six years in prison for trying to register to vote.

A long-anticipated Republican review of the 2020 election in Wisconsin argued that lawmakers could decertify" Joe Biden's victory in the state - something that is not legally possible.

New voting restrictions loomed over the Texas primary, where progressive notched key wins and a Donald Trump ally suffered a major blow.

A federal judge in Georgia declined to impose new electoral maps in the state, even though he found evidence that the ones Republicans passed last year were illegal.
