As voting issue gets white-hot, political reporters try to duck the moral implications | Press Watch
With Republicans making voter repression their top goal, political reporters are under pressure not to "take sides." But is the moral stench too much, even for them?

And yet!Suppressing and controlling the vote has become the Republican Party’s most urgent and most defining political issue, putting Washington reporters in the uncomfortable position of having to choose between covering it like any other partisan squabble — or as the grotesque, racist, anti-democratic sequel to Trump’s Big Lie that it is.
