Oops, did Alabama forget to add “totally not to disenfranchise brown people” to their bill?
Good news, though even the old one looks gerrymandered.
Yeah, just a little /s
Idk anything about Alabama, so excuse my ignorance if this is blissfully naive, but it would be amazing if voter turnout were so high that district 6 (between Birmingham and Montgomery) could unexpectedly flip. I would love for the gerrymandering to be by such razor-thin margins that they lose seats in some of these states rather than gaining them. This was my only worry about the Virginia redistricting. Super disappointing to not see much of a fight back when courts overruled the will of the voters, but at least it’s safe I guess. I would’ve loved to have a rep who at least pretends to care about my community.
When I emailed my representative about the importance of protecting consumer privacy rights from big tech in the vein of the GDPR, all I got back was a response spewing bullshit about “American competitiveness”. 🤷🏻♂️
Bro I got a response that was definitely a prewritten response for a group opposing our states bill but for different reasons. They responded to someone else’s argument in response to me.
It was very clear because this other group said there was a violation to the second amendment. I only mentioned the fourth. I gave the details of the amendment and explained why I feel this bill would infringe on it. He still only talked about the second.
Finally some good news
