WASHINGTON: Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in Washington, Houston, Atlanta and other US cities to protest against laws in several Republican-led states that critics say will make it harder for minorities to vote.

Those laws range from a requirement to have a fixed address in order to register to vote to a ban on the drive-through voting that was popular in some states last year amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Her father, Rickey Harris, 65, said that protesting was key to"trying to knock down all these voting suppression laws that they're putting in across the country".

That process accelerated sharply as Donald Trump pushed false claims that massive fraud had cost him victory in the November 2020 presidential election.
