Plan to get 'every last possible Republican out of office' flagged: 'Fight fire with fire'

By Alexander Willis

In the wake of the Supreme Court having issued a controversial ruling that critics warn may “demolish” restrictions around racially discriminatory voting policies, progressive writer Ryan Cooper laid out a plan Sunday that he argued could potentially unseat “every last possible Republican out of office.”

Last week, the Supreme Court issued a ruling that effectively gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, a provision established to prohibit racially discriminatory voting policies, including the adoption of racially gerrymandered congressional district maps. Republicans have already launched a national effort to redraw state maps to bolster their representation in Congress.

“Democrats should fight fire with fire,” Cooper wrote in a guest column published Sunday in Zeteo. “It’s time to redistrict every last possible Republican out of office. It’s time to unleash the baconmanders.”
