Thanks to Mississippi's 1890 Jim Crow constitution, Jim Hood (D) may need to win the popular vote for governor by >10% this fall to avoid having the gerrymandered GOP state House seat his opponent instead. This law's origin was racist & it should be challenged as unconstitutionalhttps://twitter.com/DKElections/status/1092544622918799360 …
It's astonishing how many ways this law should be unconstitutional. It should violate the 14th Amendment on both "one person, one vote" grounds & discriminatory racial intent. It also should violate the VRA & 15th Amdmt bans on discriminatory racial effecthttps://twitter.com/PoliticsWolf/status/1092547059880648704 …
Local media finally noticing this story. Beyond the 1999 gov race, @MSTODAYnews found 2 more races where this law mattered, but both saw the 2nd-place vote-getter concede. No example of MS House picking 2nd-place finisher like GOP could do to Dems in 2019 https://mississippitoday.org/2019/02/03/based-on-state-constitution-hood-could-win-governors-race-and-not-be-seated/ …https://twitter.com/DKElections/status/1092544622918799360 …
Might it also violate the clause requiring the state to have a republican form of government? At some point the system is designed to thwart the will of the people, so the state is no longer a republic.
