The Official Republican voter suppression/election fraud thread

[GodisanAtheist]

Maybe. It really depends how some of your governing officials get elected. If you're in a heavy democratic party area with closed primaries, sometimes the primary is the de facto election, so it can be worthwhile to be registered Democrat.

- As someone growing up in a heavily republican area, the trend I generally noticed for local elections is I was more or less OK with whoever the Dems put up as their candidate for the general, while almost without fail the Republican candidate was a horror show.

Having the ability to influence the Republican candidate toward the center felt much more valuable for me than "cheerleading" whatever Dem candidate made it through.

If you live somewhere that has Dems running unopposed then you're likely not going to be the correct recipient for this advice.

Is that legal? That should be illegal.

I look at that guy's face and think of a favorite William Blake quotation:

"He whose face shows no light will never become a star."

Republicans at it again in Texas. Diluting the political power for people of color. Can't convince me this party isn't racist.

"a simple redrawing so we pickup 5 seats"

Doubling the number of representatives would make a lot of the gerrymandering BS not nearly as important as it is now.

It's reform to make government more representative and bring your rep closer to their district.
