Kentucky reportedly closed down thousands of polling places this week and Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is not happy about it.

LeBron expressed his disdain over the court ruling that cut Kentucky's polling places from 3,700 to 200 for Tuesday's primary voting.

James suggested recently that voting in America is “structurally racist” following reports of long lines in predominantly Black neighborhoods in Georgia.

Per USA Today, James — along with his business partner Maverick Carter — created a non-profit organization “More Than a Vote.” The organization aims to fight voter suppression and increase voter turnout in the Black community.

The Lakers superstar is one of the most vocal personalities about the injustices in America and is not afraid to speak his mind. Racism has been at the forefront of the country following the death of George Floyd, a 46-year old African American who was killed while in police custody in Minneapolis. Blacks Lives Matter protests have spread all over the country since then, and several NBA players have paraded the streets to show their support.

While America is dealing with this real world issue, LeBron James and the rest of the NBA are at a standstill on the resumption of the NBA season. Some prominent players such as Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving and James' Lakers teammate Avery Bradley do not think that the season should continue amidst the ongoing BLM protests in the United States.

For his part, James believes that basketball will not hinder him from using his voice and platform for change.
