    Trump’s New Attempt to Skew Redistricting

    the administration was determined to move ahead with a separate collection of citizenship data that it could offer Republican-controlled states to use for redistricting, instead of the traditional total population measurement.

    “Accordingly, the Secretary has directed the Census Bureau to proceed with the 2020 Census without a citizenship question on the questionnaire, and rather to produce

    Citizenship Voting Age Population (CVAP)

    information prior to April 1, 2021 that states may use in redistricting.”

    “Administrative records will use existing government information to produce citizen voting age population (CVAP) data at the census block level, the smallest geographic data unit,”

    Block-level data is all a state would need to plug in to widely available redistricting software and spit out a map based on CVAP, which would skew heavily white and Republican.

    Such a move would reshape the political and social topography of any state that tries it.

    Legislative seats — and the raw political power that comes with them — would shift away from diverse urban areas and gravitate toward whiter suburban and rural communities.

    The centers of political gravity would also bend in those directions,

    resulting in state legislative maps that strongly favor the Republican Party.

    The effects of extreme partisan gerrymandering and stringent voter-ID laws would be amplified.

    This has been a long-standing fantasy for conservative legal scholars and hard-boiled GOP operatives alike.

    it’s hard to imagine that there will not be an early effort by some Republican-controlled states to adopt CVAP redistricting and test it in the courts

    it would not be terribly surprising if

    Chief Justice John Roberts

    the author and deciding vote in the June decision on the citizenship question —

    found a way to let Republicans use CVAP even though he stopped them from imposing it nationally via the Census.

    The Cons ution-hating/destroying Repugs know they can't win without ing the census, without cheating, without voter suppression, without counting fraud.

    'Democracy for Some, But Not for All': Report Reveals Nearly 1,700 Polling Places Closed Since Supreme Court Weakened Voting Rights Act

    "Seems like Republicans don't want people to vote...wonder what they are worried about."

    Civil rights advocates said Tuesday that The U.S. Supreme Court must restore a key provision of the Voting Rights Act

    after a sweeping new report showed how the court's decision led to the closure of nearly 1,700 polling places across the American South.


    The Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Under Law study, "Democracy Diverted," revealed Tuesday that

    nearly 1,200 of the polling places were closed between the 2014 and 2018 midterm elections,

    "underscoring the scale of this assault on U.S. democracy."


    "We must recognize that closures are taking place at alarming speed amid broader efforts to prevent people of color from voting,"

    Dems lose NC-9, again.

    Solid Republican district since 1963 stays Republican after Republicans cheated and fouled the election, causing a revote.

    Voting is key, radio and TV spots slagging the other guy, somewhat less so.

    Not really a surprise outcome. It was closer than it should have been.

    "win at all costs" has been the "tone at the top" for the GOP since the Clinton-ear Republican Revolution.

    Cheating on many levels is symptomatic of that, IMO. Closing polling places, limiting voter registration, voter ID laws, gerrymandering, and in this case and others actively cheating.

    Qhris does not care about the truth, merely "owning the libs". Whatever lie does that is fine with him. He won't defend anything, just ring the doorbell and run away.

    These assholes, which Repug voters are why America is so ed and un able, are so indoctrinated, programmed, conspiracy-sotted that they are perfectly immune, impervious, resistant, deaf and blind to facts or just alternative interpretations. Enjoy your pissing contests.

    BUSTED: NC GOP senator announces retirement after getting caught on video gerrymandering his district

    North Carolina Republican state Sen. John Alexander has announced that he will not seek re-election after he was caught trying to gerrymander his own district.

    Alexander made the announcement on Thursday after he was seen on video Wednesday making changes that would have made his district a safe Republican seat while representing many Democrats in the Raleigh area.

    Pootin's dictate to Trash to withdraw USA from int'l agreements and sow chaos across the planet continues

    Fears of ‘collateral damage to democracy’ swell as Trump weighs withdrawing from global postal pact

    Thousands of absentee ballots could be uncounted in upcoming elections thanks to President Donald Trump’s objection to a treaty which governs the international mail exchange for nearly 200 countries.

    Citing disapproval of shipping rates it says unfairly favor China, ING LIE, ALWAYS LYING

    the White House is weighing a potential

    withdrawal next month from the Universal Postal Union (UPU), a United Nations agency which allows for global postal service.


    Without U.S. membership in the UPU, overseas voters could face high shipping rates for mailing their ballots as well as mass confusion, which could leave thousands of votes uncounted in 2019 and 2020.

    “Military and overseas citizens already face enormous hurdles casting their votes,”

    “These citizens may be forced to pay up to $70 to return their ballots via private shipping companies,

    and it’s not clear all states will accept ballots delivered this way.”

    Why more than 130,000 new voting machines could lead to more distrust in the 2020 presidential election results

    the machines are controversial, splitting independent experts and election activists on issues that will likely affect public trust and confidence.

    https://www.rawstory.com/2019/10/why...ction-results/


    goddamn, America, flattering/lying to itself that it's a democracy, is so ed up it can't even provide reliable (every vote counts and is counted accurately), uncontroversial voting system.

    Census Bureau wants the same Texas driver’s license data from failed voter purge for citizen count

    Earlier this year, outdated driver’s license records led to an attempt to remove naturalized citizens from voter rolls.

    these records have already proved to be unreliable indicators of citizenship status in Texas,

    namely during
    this year’s failed voter purge when former interim Secretary of State David Whitley wrongly accused thousands of naturalized citizens of illegally voting.

    if Texas leaders use citizenship counts instead of total population to redraw congressional and state Senate districts in 2021 — an idea President Donald Trump publicly pushed this year

    Latinos, children under 18 and noncitizen immigrants could miss out on proper political representation for the next 10 years. that's the entire point by the racist Repugs

    The Census Bureau requested the records from Texas this month to comply with an executive order signed by Trump in July.

    His administration wants to provide states with a count of citizens

    so that states can redraw districts based on the number of voting-aged citizens rather than total population.

    I will be surprised if racist bag Repugs in racist hole TX do NOT give the DL data to Trash

    counting citizens only is a violation of the Cons ution.

    But bag Repugs don't GAF about the Cons ution or any laws, regs.

    JO shows how Federal politicians, esp Senate Repugs, keep America's voting machine totally unreliable, hackable, etc.

    Why? To enable Repug counting fraud.

    That could be election fraud. Election fraud is a live concern.

    By contrast, voter fraud is a problem of infinitessimal dimensions. Crocodile tears, tbh. The laws passed to prevent voter fraud have the effect of disenfranchising legit US citizens, and that's as designed.

    The ongoing furore on the right about voter fraud is vote suppression, pure and simple.
