What is happening is that people are looking at one metric and trying to extrapolate an entire narrative. And the narrative is very clear, voter suppression is not about stopping voting. It is about impeding certain voters from participating.
Stacey Abrams discusses the issue of voter suppression and its impact on certain voter demographics.

Women deserve full citizenship, in the United States and, certainly, in the State of Georgia. And they are being denied that because of Brian Kemp's draconian six-week ban.
There is no such thing as heartbeat at six weeks. It is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman's body away from her.
I’m worried about access to the right to vote in Georgia because we know that there are roadblocks that were put in place intentionally designed to block access.
Where we stood in Georgia prior to Brian Kemp was a 20-week ban, that I also found deeply objectionable. But what Brian Kemp has done is go so far afield that 72% of women — 72% of Georgians disagree with what we have right now, which is almost a total ban.
