I changed the story type from Special Report to Commentary, as this is not journalism, per se. I am a Liberal, a Democrat, I live in Florida and I'm very concerned about voter suppression. The purpose of NewsTrust however is to judge good journalism, and this doesn't make the cut. It is a highly partisan piece and is well below average in information, sourcing, context, evidence, balance and style. Sorry, but that's my assessment of this piece.
