The Battle Continues

The first presidential contest

In fifty years--to be exact--

Without full protection of

The badly needed Voting Rights Act

 

Occurred this year--in 2016.

Fourteen states--we must note--

Had implemented voting restrictions

Making it harder for some to vote.

 

Trump complained of a rigged election,

Which the media devoured in haste;

But little time was spent showing

The REAL threat that voters faced.

 

Voting restrictions are plaguing the nation--

Just ONE example of far-right aggression.

The fight for rights continues as we

Fight against voter suppression.
