Many experts are forecasting the end of a key provision of election law — enabling Republicans to shore up their advantage in the House, according to a new report.
Ahead of the court’s Oct. 15 rehearing of Louisiana v. Callais — a case that has major implications for the VRA — two voting rights groups are sounding the alarm, warning that eliminating Section 2, a provision that prohibits racial gerrymandering when it dilutes minority voting power, would let Republicans redraw up to 19 House seats to favor the party and crush minority representation in Congress.
Bye bye free and fair elections by the midterms! And people called me crazy for predicting this.
Yea so the bigger question is why the fuck can a republican standup on national television say that immigrants “are eating the cats and dogs” yet still win the election…
A lot of that relies on an electoral college based system where 20-30k votes in the right states determines the winner regardless of national sentiment.
So enough BS, because a “WhAt AbOuT the GeNoCiDe” crowd can absolutely make a dent in a party that doesn’t have a 24/7 fox-news-newsmax-sinclair human centipede of a media juggernaut telling people how to vote.
The point is that a whole lot of groups make a dent, and many make much bigger dents. Know who else made a dent? The people who were fucking complicit in a genocide. If your problem isn’t with them, then I don’t give a fuck what you think about anything.
