        The article above talks about a situation where a poll worker in Memphis, Tennessee turned away several voters who were wearing "Black Lives Matter" and "I Can't Breath" shirts. This article mentions that according to Tennessee law, voters are not allowed to wear anything with the name of a candidate or political party, but specifically says that Tennessee law says that "Black Lives Matter" is not prohibited. 

        This relates to the six freedoms of the First Amendment because this is considered freedom of speech. According to the article, this worker thought the statements on the shirts were tied to the Democratic party, but the worker was still fired for what happened.

Moving on to theamericanconservative.com, from what I could see, the site seemed biased to me. Although many news sources are biased to a certain degree, it is harder to trust one that is less known compared to one that is established.      Regarding the antiwar voices, they have such strong opinions that would be very controversial and criticized in mainstream news. These bold opinions are also why it is so difficult to find them.
