ABSTRACT Recent years have seen rising public talk around voting access and voter suppression, particularly as linked to marginalized and disenfranchised populations. In this reflection, we assess varied such public conversations and identify an interesting narrative encapsulating both those arguing voter suppression as a rising concern and those minimizing such claims. Organized around “ignorance,” this metanarrative does the rhetorical work of containment.

揭开“无知”的面纱

摘要 近年来，关于投票权和选民压制的公众讨论越来越多，尤其是与边缘化和被剥夺权利的人群有关的讨论。在本次反思中，我们评估了各种此类公开对话，并确定了一个有趣的叙述，其中包含那些将选民压制视为日益关注的问题和最小化此类主张的人。围绕“无知”组织，这个元叙事完成了遏制的修辞工作。
