I'm going to get the camera set up. Thanks a lot for agreeing to be our celebrity ambassador on voting rights, Lewis. We'll try to make this photoshoot as painless as possible. Well no photoshoot is painless but I'm happy to help. It's important. I mean who is denying people. [ COUGH ] The right to vote. You'd be surprised. We're fighting people trying to suppress voting all over the country. Like North Carolina. They slashed a week of early voting. That affects two million people. Right. If I could just get you guys to look at the lens. Why stop people from voting early? Well early voting makes it easier to vote and that can decide an election. Here this is a picture I carry around with me everywhere I go in case I get a chance to talk about early voting. Look at that line. What the hell is that? Is, is it Black Friday?

This looks like a chart showing how tough it is for a sperm to find a fertilized egg, which explains why it's so tired when it finally gets there. guys. Elected officials shouldn't get to choose who gets to choose elected officials. Look people marched and fought and died for the right to vote and they wanna legislate away that sacrifice to stay in power? Not on my watch baby. If I could Take the picture. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Lewis Black Says F#%! Voter Suppression","description":"Lewis Black Says F#%!
