BNC hosts Sharon Reed and Mike Hill weighed in on Republican lawmakers pushing for new voter suppression legislation on their morning show Start Your Day.
“When they can’t suppress your vote, that’s when they call it fraud,” Hill said citing former President Donald Trump’s false claims that the election was stolen. “Every time we make strides in the community when it comes to any type of rights, especially when it comes to voting, it appears they change the rules.”
Both hosts agreed that Black Americans should stop thinking their vote doesn’t count.
“If it didn’t count, they wouldn’t try and suppress it so much,” Hill said.
As they reflected on the sacrifices of activists from the past, Reed said “You do an extreme disservice,” by not exercising your right to vote. “To just sit at home when so many people spilled their blood for the right to vote, it just doesn’t seem right.”
