The United States has a long history of blocking certain Americans from voting. Voter suppression began at the founding of this nation when the right to vote in most states was limited to white male property owners. Non-whites, women, and the non-property-owning poor were excluded.
There are three primary forms of state-sponsored voter suppression: The first makes it harder for people to register to vote. The second makes it harder for people to get to the polls. The third manipulates precinct boundaries to dilute or concentrate the vote for one party. There are also illegal voter suppression activities, like the destruction of voter registration cards.
Voter registration suppression examples include:

• Stricter voter ID laws such as accepting only certain      kinds of IDs, requiring certain kinds of documentation to get IDs,      and requiring certain kinds of photos
• Residency requirements and address requirements
• “Intention to stay” requirements
• Restrictions on voter registration drives
• Elimination of Election Day voter registration
• Voter purges (when eligible voters are removed from voter      rolls improperly, often without notice to voters)
• Felony disenfranchisement

Voting barrier examples include:

• Closing polling stations. For example, between 2012 and      2018, 8% of voting precincts in Georgia were closed      and 40% of voting precincts were relocated in the state, preventing      between 54,000 to 85,000 voters from voting on Election Day in 2018
• Barriers related to disability
• Voter intimidation      tactics like armed observers at polling places
• Long lines at voting places

Knowing what you now know about voter suppression:

1. How has voter suppression affected the current presidential      election?
2. How has the current presidential administration use voter      suppression as a means to win political tactic?
3. How would you counter voter suppression within your own      communities?

Q1
I personally do not believe that a bussiness owner has the right to deny service to same-sex couples. These are progressive times and the world has been coming to accept all different kinds of people over the years. Just because slavery was permitted under law a hundred or so years ago did not make it right. The law is not always correct or moral. We now have corrected that notion and have implented all people into society regardless of skin color. The same should be true for same-sex couples.
Using the argument of religion as an objection to bake a wedding cake for gay marraige means that African-Americans should still be objected under the same logic. The religon is not the problem in this case it is the problem of a person that is unwilling to adapt to society or accept anyone that is different from themselves. The “KKK” Is nowhere near the same as a same-sex couple. The “KKK” is a harmful organization that is hateful and disriminatory. Same sex couples do no harm to anyone and are just trying to express their individual sexuality. Opposition of same-sex couples is similar to a hateful/discriminatory organization and maybe in that case people should not be working for weddings if they are opposed to any type of gender getting married.
The fact that this kind of behaviour is not outlawed can be considered a paralell from dicrimation of Africation americans during segregation. Eventually it was adopted by the government as public opinion gained tracion in favor towards equality of skin color. The same will happen with gay marraige over the years as public opinion towards it has increased tremendously over the years. Aporximately 10,000,000 people in the United States are considered part of LGBT so this issue definetly is not small. Not giving rights to a certain group of people is basically admitting that they are less than anyone else in society when this is false.
I hope to one day see a world where skin color, race, sexuality and any other types of human discrepancies are not an issue in day to day society and we can all live in harmony and peace as under one label of people/citizens of America all protected under equal law.
Question2
No, business owners and/or government officials should not be allowed to deny service to same-sex couples because of religious beliefs. Yes, we have the right of freedom of religion, whether it be Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, or no religion at all. Yet our government was also founded on the idea of separation of church and state. So why is it acceptable to allow Christianity to govern us, when fundamentally our government is supposed to respect the separation of church and state.
“He does not have the absolute right to exercise and practice such beliefs in utter disregard of the clear constitutional rights of other citizens.” That is the best line I have heard and gets right to the core of this issue, and I will definitely be using it in the future. Members of the LQBTQ+ community have the right to be happy, should have the right to the same services as straight people, and absolutely should have the right to be themselves. You can feel one way about something, but if that belief goes against the rights of others, you can not practice that belief because it interferes with someone elses rights.
I think (and hope) that the case with the wedding cake will result in the motion that refusing to bake a cake for same sex marriage is inherently discrimination. If a bakery were to turn down a woman who wanted a cake because she is a woman, that would be discrimination. I cannot be refused service from a place because I am a woman. A black person can not be turned down from a restaurant just because of the color of their skin. Everyone has the right to live the exact same way as everyone else. LGBTQ+ people have the absolute right to be with the ones they love, and celebrate it too. Personally, if I was gay I would want to go to a bakery that supported me. I don’t want to give my business to someone who is disrespectful to who I am.
I am honestly amazed at how we are in 2020, almost 2021, and same sex marriage is still an issue. If you are arguing against the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals, remember that the Bible calls us to love everyone.
