Texas Tries To Redefine “Personhood” To Keep Blacks and Hispanics From Voting


For a long time, Republicans have been hard at work in trying to prevent Black and Hispanic voters from taking to the polls on election day. Now, the Supreme Court is ruling on a case that could change the way we look at voting districts in the worse way imaginable.

Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss this.

Repug Texians want eligible voters, maybe even just voting voters, to be counted only for districting, but total residents, including anchor babies, Mexican rapists, cantaloupe calves, all counted for allocating number of representatives.

You don't believe that voting is a privilege that should only be available to citizens over 18? That children, illegals, prisoners, etc should vote? I don't think using total population for electoral college is helping the repubs any - illegals tend to live in democrat cities/states.

I'm in one of the biggest.

Texas - because of its location on the border. But I'd guess that they tend to go to democratic big cities instead of republican rural places.

I don't know but they better not teach about climate change there, that would be ridiculous.
