Trump Sued Under KKK Act

Stone of threatening to intimidate voters in the state’s urban, minority-heavy neighborhoods. State Democratic parties in Ohio, Nevada and Arizona have filed similar complaints. All of the suits use claims raised under the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 that are intended to thwart voter intimidation.PhillyMag.com
