How to Destroy Democracy

 In seven easy steps:

1. First, undercount the number of Black and brown people who are in the country, in order to skew congressional districts and the Electoral College.

2. Use census data to racially gerrymander states.

3. The next step is to erect barriers to when, how and if people can cast a ballot.

4. Then allow big money to operate virtually unchecked to influence the electorate.

5. Reject as many ballots as possible.

6. Change “the referees” of elections, as States United Action put it.

7. Finally, have a Supreme Court stacked in such a way that it is hesitant to step in and beat back these restrictions.
