Voting rights bill passes or fails worth the pro-democracy effort

Those of us who feel strongly about protecting our democracy from the MAGA autocracy movement do not have to wait to vote in November 2024 to make our voices heard.  The Democrats have just provided the focus for us to express ourselves now by putting the federal voting rights bill back on the front burner.  One of the tactics used by the MAGAs is to make it as hard as possible for those they ID'd as likely not to vote for them as inconvenient and difficult to cast their ballots.  The premise used by red states is based on the big lie and the debunked claims the 2020 election was stolen.      Even if the legislation has little chance of passing both houses before the November 2024 elections, it will serve to put on the record which incumbents voted against it, and it will give an opportunity to members of both political parties who opposed the MAGA voter suppression efforts dramatize the damage that has been done by red states to the right of people to vote and to have their votes counted.  If a big enough issue is made of the proposed legislation, win or lose, the issue will have focus and exposure.  On the other hand, passage of voting rights legislation  will also scotch any of Supreme Court-dominated conservatives to restrict voting right by their decisions and at least get it in a storm that will be hard to overturn. should somehow the White House falls into Trump's hands in 2024. 

 The most anti-democratic voter suppression efforts are still a storm on the horizon: white nationalist attempts at  destroying birth right citizenship, which means immigrant children cannot be citizens of the US and so they could not vote against white people's race.  Face it. That is what it is about. That will leave this country in the future full of very angry second class citizens, an institutionalized Jim Crow country with all of the conflict and violence such suppression creates.  That is the future this nation would face. That is not the kind of country I hope for my grandchildren who are white. Without racial peace in this country, kiss prosperity goodbye as such turmoil would absorb us instead.
