it is about race. But hey they knew that, but did not care.

it's the right thing to do, period.

...I worded that wrong,

And this is yet another way for them to cheat?

The Supreme Court essentially decided racism no longer exists in this country. It's a thing of the past, they said, no longer a problem in former confederate states where blacks were once denied the vote by law. Republicans argue creating voting districts to give blacks equal representation and a proportionate voice in our democratic voting process isn't necessary now, absurdly claiming the white majority in those southern states is no longer trying to politically dominate and disadvantage the black minority.

However, it's evident Republican gerrymandering is based on party affiliation. The GOP is doing everything in their power to limit the political power of all Democratic voters, of all races, not just blacks. Clearly, Republicans are engaging in partisan gerrymandering to disenfranchise Democrats, and it must be outlawed.

It was apparent, like in 2024, Black folks felt they were largely unsupported in the vote. And those results yielded negative effects on voting rights, civil rights, jobs, health care, education, and infrastructure. I think they don’t trust the rest of the US to fight back.

And I am old enough to remember voter suppression prior to the VRA. What’s the incentive to go out and vote if it’s likely their vote will be suppressed? Safer to sit this one out.

My italics.
