An NBC News OpEd
While public testimonies of former intelligence agency directors and
an Attorney General have provided made-for-TV drama in recent weeks,
they have not yet furnished clarity as to whether a sitting President’s
campaign helped Russia hack our 2016 electoral process.
Despite deep partisan divides, a consensus
remains that hard evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and
Russia’s clear skullduggery would be unacceptable to Republicans as well
as Democrats. With all eyes glued on Team Trump’s unfolding game of
Russian roulette, however, many Americans appear to accept our homegrown
hacking.
Over the past month, while we watched “As the Trump World Turns,”
four separate U.S. Supreme Court decisions made clear that Republicans
in North Carolina intentionally subverted democracy through what the
Court affirmed as a “racial gerrymander” and a voter suppression law
that it said “almost surgically targets African Americans.”
Anyone outraged by the potential collusion of
Team Trump should examine these final decisions from our highest court.
Without the race-based election hacking that the Court now definitely
outlaws, a Trump campaign would have never been possible. What’s more,
our seven-year struggle to win this fight offers a deeply divided nation
a clear way forward.
