I appreciate the context, but the reality is districts are drawn by the prison population she is saying can’t vote. I think it’s difficult to parse those two things. You have to be for full suffrage, full citizen rights, or have districts that don’t count that population.

Districts are also drawn based on those who are under voting age or the mentally disabled who don’t have the capacity to vote.

Census counts inhabitants not voters. Likewise, immigrants / green card holders cannot vote now but are counted in the census (or should be).

The slight difference there is at least those folks are adults with theoretical ability to live where they want, rather than forced into a specific area. I have been told a few times prison pops are used to manipulate voting areas, to inflate population, aiding gerrymandering.

Now whether that holds any water or not, I don’t know. But it would be convenient to include prison population in districts knowing they can’t vote to make it advantageous for one party or another.

this is called a "walk back" Ian those of us who studied her record, though, always knew she was a cop - nice that she's confirming it now

Aww you’re still behind. Try and catch up. Using the “cop” reference isn’t scaring anyone anymore. Ask Lightfoot opponents in Chicago how that worked out for them. Try again cos that ain’t gon work.

I'd really love to start a convo for a victims compensation fund. Murder victims families/parents of kidnapped children have to manage their electricity bills/mortgage through an unkind grief period. Too many crime victims rely on community/church resources to survive.

This answer still sucks
