\;
Suppressed and Sabotaged: The Figh t To Vote \;(2022) \;by Robert Greenwald (Director of \;Outfox ed\, Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price\, and Making A Killing: Guns\, Gr eed\, and the NRA) is a powerful documentary about the growing threat of v oter suppression and election sabotage to our 2022 miderm elections. In 20 21\, 19 states passed 34 new voter laws following the Big Lie of the 2020 election. The film focuses on this recent wave of voter suppression and su bversion laws being enacted in states\, and how the 2018 Georgia gubernato rial race between Stacey Abrams and Brian Kemp provides a blueprint for to day&rsquo\;s voter suppression laws across the country.
\nSuppressed and Sabotaged: The Fight To Vote now includes perspectives from voters in Arizona\, Florida\, Texas\, and Georgia that highlight how these new laws will affect their constitutional right to vote. Suppression tactics cover ed in the film include registration hurdles\, polling place closures\, vot er purges\, missing absentee ballots\, extreme wait times at polling locat ions\, exact match disqualifications\, new vote by mail limitations\, chan ges to ballot collection and drop off\, and more. Voter suppression laws d isproportionately affect American Students\, Senior Citizens\, Black\, Ind igenous\, Latinx\, and People of Color from casting their ballots. Suppres sed and Sabotaged \;is a call to action against the calculated\, uncon stitutional\, and racist attacks intended to suppress the right to vote in America.
