Georgians went to the polls in record numbers during the May 24 primary ahead of the crucial 2022 midterm elections, despite renewed GOP efforts to suppress the votes of the state’s communities of color. Passed in the wake of the 2020 elections, inspired in large part by former President Trump’s baseless claims of election fraud, Georgia’s SB 202 (the Election Integrity Act of 2021) is perhaps the most egregious example of Republicans’ nationwide efforts to roll back voting rights through a flurry of restrictive voting laws. Such laws disproportionately impact people in low-income communities and communities of color, and they are being passed at a moment when the power of communities of color to shape election outcomes is rapidly increasing. Case in point: Georgia’s Latinx community has grown by 30% over the past decade and now comprises 10% of the state’s population. In this on-the-ground report for our special series “Defending Democracy in the 2022 Midterm Elections,†TRNN’s Jaisal Noor and Jeffrey Moustache speak with organizers from the Georgia Alliance of Latino Elected Officials (GALEO), an advocacy group that helps Latinx voters unlock their political power, about how they are working to “out-organize voter suppression†by mobilizing and empowering the state’s Latinx community.

Fact Check; the term LatinX is extremely offensive and used by racist whites to degrade hispanics.
Fact Check; there was no voter suppression in Georgia that was a #RussianFundedPropaganda lie.
quit trying to manipulate the vote. If you want to vote, register to vote, show up at your precinct with id and vote. Its your duty and right. Quit insisting on compromising the integrity of the election with short cuts just because you are too lazy to go down and vote properly so votes can be verified as legitimate and legal.
Latino you mean?
Ok is the term Latinx an agreed on thing in the Hispanic community?
Wtf is Latinx? Sounds like something made up like ultra maga…sounds like something only colleges and multi billion/ trillion dollar companies would say. Even the Latin guy says latino and not latinx in this video 😂
I'm Mexican-American
Mexican born in USA
Stop using a made up word , there Latina or latino not that stupid X bs .
LatinX? No one Hispanic I know uses that term, they would laugh.
Soooo, just out of curiosity, can someone set up a stand (at someone's house) close to the voting places and hand out water there??? I am not in Georgia, otherwise I would!!!
I'm latino and truly think it's ridiculous that ppl are trying to change our language as a virtue signal. If you don't like latino or latina, us latin. It really is this simple but eliminates the divisiveness and offensive BS of trying to force a minority language to change. You keep saying latinx in this video while actual latinos in the video use the proper language and grammar.
RNN lost the plot joining corporate Breaking Points. You lost your hard-earned credibility in 1 move,
The Real Academia Española (RAE), the official source on the Spanish language released its first style manual–edited along with Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española (ASALE) – for the Spanish language, and in the opening chapter, it rejects the use of “x†and “e†as gender-neutral alternatives. The academy said we should default to the masculine because it can also encompass the feminine.
What voter suppression? The last primaries had record turn-out. Only a fool and/or corrupt politician would want undocumented individuals voting away constitutionally protected rights. Show I.D., or no voting for you.
Edit: Every state needs stronger voting laws to combat things like ballot harvesting.
Only sovereign votes count.
You people don't count.
F you and your LatinX bull crap. No one wants this this term except the iltra woke. Voter supression is all bs too, I have never had any trouble voting and never will
As a Latino man I feel exactly like Kunta Kinte, from the movie Roots, when he was whipped into accepting his new name “Tobyâ€. Stop calling is Latinx.
Latinxxx ??? Yeah that's my favorite category too. Anyways stop with the lies. I voted for orange man.
I am a life long Georgia resident. The idea that there is voter suppression is a thing in GA or that certain communities are being targeted for suppression is pure BS. To vote in GA you must 1) Be registered to vote. 2) Show up at your assigned polling place (if voting on election day). 3) Have a state issued ID. That's it
In our most recent election (May 2022) we had 17 early voting days. As for drop boxes for absentee ballots, every residence has a drop box. It's called a mailbox. Voting in GA is not hard to do or restrictive.
After hearing the "hard to vote" BS repeatedly leading up to the 2020 election I posted several times that I would help anyone be able to vote who wanted or needed help.
I offered to:
Help them to get registered
Pay for a State issued ID if they didn't have one
Help request an absentee ballot.
Drive them for early voting.
Drive them to vote on election day
I posted this on my facebook page several times leading up to the election with my phone number and asked all my friends to repost and give my number to anyone who may benefit from this. offer. I got zero takers, ZERO. If you are a citizen and you want to vote there are no obstacles in Georgia.
I love how people use the term "voter suppression" so they can cheat during elections. There are so many phrases the left use that are completely antithesis to the words in the phrase. Words have no meaning to them so lying comes natural. Never, ever trust a leftie.
Why does the media insists on using that term
Pushing the bullshit voter suppression narrative while using this dipshit LatinX nomenclature… Well that's about all I need to know to unsubscribe.
I will agree with one thing in here: Latinos (notice the HISPANIC MAN you feature didn't refer to HIMSELF as "LatinX"! lol) WILL determine the victor in Georgia. Unfortunately for this channel, Latinos have come from too many communist-run countries to vote leftward in this election. This is very low-level propaganda. You really got to start lying more effectively to be taken seriously. 🙂
Oh man did I ONCE respect this channel! Demanding voter ID is voter suppression? OMG. And LATINX? Hispanic and Latinos DO NOT LIKE to be referred to as "LatinX". This channel has become so woke you are asleep!
keep Voting Democrat so you can STARVE and be HOMELESS LMAO
Stop using the term "Latinx". Only about 5% of Hispanic Americans prefer it.
I live in NJ and know not one person who is Hispanic that refers to themselves as this X term. Kindly let this fade into the dustbin of history.
Call yourselves “Real News†and use a term that offends the people they are reporting on. Lantinx????? Smh
2:40 You’re welcome. Stop this “latinx†nonsense
Record turn out…more early voting days..and yes..water was handed out in Bruan County because of the long lines to the voting trailer…the regular voting place was hit by a tornado…like the Governor said..it just makes it harder to cheat…
The Biden Cheating machine.
VOTER SUPRESSION MY ASS, WHAT A LOT OF CRAP. IF YOU ARE A CITIZEN, IT IS EASY TO GET AN ID.🤣🤣🤣🤣😲😲
Lol 😆🤣😂 you all are so full of crap
You are kidding ….right?? We need one day to vote set by Congress and ID! Come on…man!
All bull crap. No voter suppression !! Georgia wants people to vote 1 time not multiple times. Or dead people voting or illegal people voting
Funny cuz Hispanics dislike the latinx
My family and I are Mexican and never use that term. In fact I’m not sure who does.
Woke garbage journalism.
What is Latinx? Don't lump me into your woke stupid!ty.
what a bunch of lies the democraps are lier's
Unsubscribing
What voter suppression? Please provide actual examples of suppression.
It just seems to be that if the same lie is repeated over and over that people start believing the lie without any proof.
Latinx is a racist term! Latin is already inclusive. How would you like people to change the English language make it more Spanish?
This is gonna be long but informative:
" Historically, Common Law arose in England after the11th century Norman conquest as a bulwark in defense of the people against the arbitrary rule of self-appointed elites, especially monarchs and popes. The authority of these elites was derived unnaturally, from warfare, violent conquest and the theft of the earth, rather than from the consent of the community and its basis, the divine law of peace and equality. This elite rule arosemost strongly in the Romam Empire and its descendent, the Church of Rome, under whose beliefs god is a dominator and conqueror(domine), and all people are “subjects†of the Pope.
Such a conquest-based rule of papal and kingly elites gave rise to a legal system known as Civil or Roman Law, and the belief that men and women are not endowed with the capacity for self-rule and wisdom. All law and authority therefore derived externally, from statutes devised and imposed by a ruler, whether a pope, a monarch, or government. This system developed from Aristotelian philosophy and Roman property law in which creation is divided and human beings are treated as chattels and the possessions of others, and are thereby devoid of inherent liberties. The people are thus in every sense enslaved, cut off from the world given freely and in common to all. This slave system ranks and categorizes all people, and grants restricted “freedomsâ€( freithoms), or slave privileges) that are defined and limited through statutes issued by rulers.
Common and Civil(Roman) Law are therefore fundamentally opposed and are at war with each other. They cannot be reconciled, since they arise from two completely different notions of humanity and justice; Common Law knows life as a free gift given equally to all, while under Civil Law, life is a conditional privilege, and humanity is is a managed slave populace. Accordingly, governments operate in practice according to Civil(statute) law and denigrate or ignore Common Law altogether through the rule of unaccountable judge-dominated courts." – Common Law Community Training Manual
Its the 1950's:its american graffiti
smoke gets in your eyes
Please stop using the term "LATINX". Do you realize that is dominant white culture asserting itself? It is saying, "We know the correct way to reference Latinos, because we know best". Spanish is a Romance language. Romance languages HAVE GENDER! GET OVER IT!!
I find it odd that not a single person among all the comments against using the “latinx†term has the slightest clue of why it was invented or what it means. It is a word invented by some lgbtq and gender nonconforming people (who are from Latin American countries or their descendants) just to be able to refer to themselves correctly because the Spanish language is heavily gendered and you either have to say latina or latino; and the masculine ending serving as the plural or general form (when you’re speaking about both biological sexes and all genders) was viewed too annoying or outdated, or disregarding the existence of trans people etc. Languages have always evolved over time and will continue to. If you don’t agree with it or think it’s unnecessary, too activist-circles-centric or whatever etc. i’m not arguing with you one way or another (some lgbtq or genderqueer people do not agree with it at all or care about using a language with gendered endings), but no one seems to be able to do a basic google search about the thing they’re so against?
Latinas y Latinos HATE the "x" term. So why use it? The wokeism is tedious, in this case but dangerous in others: it also ensures we NOT speak of helping young women OUT of prostitution and NOT speak of getting children the counseling they need when they ask for scalpels and a lifetime of addiction to synthetic hormones. And ALL this going to get Republicans elected
It's LATINO. No such thing as Latinx.
