Indiana Police Raid Preventing 45,000 African Americans From Voting
USA-News Today

Welcome back to the 1950's.

It is no coincidence that Patriot Majority USA was raided by Indiana State Police. The advertising campaigns are accusing Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, who is also the Republican vice president nominee, of allowing voter suppression.

Police raided the Indiana Voter Registration Project offices on October 4th, forcing the group to cease its voting efforts one week before the end of the state's registration period. The voter registration program aimed at signing up African Americans. They are still unsure whether the 45,000 people will be permitted to vote this year.
