This is a great illustration for those who aren't sure what gerrymandering is; manufactured cheating.
-
That's how GOP wins - cheats. Suppress votes. Even w/ > popular votes SC steps in SELECTS president or obsolete electoral college chooses.

If banks can keep track of money to the penny, it seems votes should be as important as pennies. Voting system should be updated in all US.

GOP knows they can only win through voter suppression, gerrymandering and disinformation.

And CORPORATE SPONSORS. Campaign finance reform MUST become the law of the land; Corporate America should never have a Vote.

Citizens United was a horrible decision, up there with shredding the VRA.

Horrible for the Country, great for the GOP. How nice to have a locked donation box with an "R" outside,and envelopes with"K" on the inside.

I think this is a distraction. There's absolutely nothing stopping people from having their ballot mailed in, filled out, and mailed back.

Except, say, in FL, where "duplicate" names removed from rolls. By odd coincidence, Af Americans are more likely to have similar names.
-
Is that true? I find Black people to have particularly unique names. It's White people who tend to have similar names. Go figure.

Stats go the other way. Will try to find recent article and post.

Okay but what about mail-in ballots?
-
You can't mail in a ballot if you're not registered to vote. The issue here is voter registration, not the method by which people vote.
