And then on the other side, there were Democrats saying, "Oh, Sunday voting allow people who worked all week to vote on their day off." So I mean, all of these seem like good reasons to me.

Yeah, I can understand some of the arguments, um, w- why Sunday voting is challenging.

Um, but, you know, the reality is that this effort to, um, eliminate Sunday voting goes back more than a decade.

Um, you know, it really started in 2013, um, after Shelby v Holder was decided and the general assembly passed a large elections overhaul bill, and part of that effort was to eliminate, um, Sunday voting as well as reducing early voting hours.

Um, after a three-year battle, that law, though, was struck down, uh, by the Federal Court of Appeals, and essentially they said, uh, that, you know, this was as close to a smoking gun as they were likely to see in modern times.

Um, and it was pretty obvious to the court at least that this was an attempt to disenfranchise Black voters.

So what role would you say race has played in blocking Sunday voting this midterm?

I think this time around, um, it's played a pretty explicit role.
