Immanuel Jarvis has spent most of his life in sales. Cellphones. Life insurance. Real estate. He comes at it naturally, with a warm smile, clever wit and outgoing personality. He's hard not to like.

And yet Jarvis gets taunting emails, nasty phones calls, dirty looks. He recalls people standing so close he felt their hot breath on his face as they told him, "If I was your mother, I'd be ashamed of you for who you are."

Jarvis is a Republican. He is Black. And he's a staunch supporter of President Trump.

Could use a lot more like him. Hope he's right that he's not unique.

8 Jul: LA Times: As voting rolls plunge amid pandemic, progressives try to reinvent the registration drive
by Evan Halper
WASHINGTON — While some progressives are bullish about the outlook for the November election, Tatenda Musapatike surveys the political landscape and sees masses of unregistered voters who were supposed to be on the rolls by now, but for the pandemic.
It is making her increasingly anxious, and she is not alone.
“It is hard to overstate just how underwater voter registration is,” said Musapatike, senior director of campaigns at Acronym, a progressive group focused on digital strategy...

Not even 200,000 people were registered in May, compared with nearly 1.5 million in May of 2016, according to the Democratic data analysis firm TargetSmart.
Those early numbers also showed people of color and voters under 40 making up a smaller share of new voters in April and May than previously...

And the hurdles some states have created to getting a vote-by-mail ballot are adding to the challenge, even as the pandemic pushes voting in that direction...

The Hodges twins sound like they are from NC, not sure where Officer Tatum is from, nor the Amazing Lucas.

Youtube has even more, I just picked those up from links on FR.

Burgess Owens is a black Republican who supports Trump.

He’s also running for Congress in Utah’s 4th district and has a good chance of winning.

Given what’s at stake and who the alternative is, I’d say it was the easiest decision that guy ever made.

Pretty impressive.
Takes me forever to compose and post anything and even then they have errors.
Good job. Keep it up.

In my region most of the new cases are happening in ZIP codes with high percentages of black residents.

I suspect it’s that way over much of the country...

A tip off is the press is NOT reporting racial stats on the pandemic.
