Supreme court is a political weapon they never defend constitutional law

I have little faith that the Supremely Corrupt Court will rule for voting rights.

Another opportunity for Justice Roberts to drive more nails into the VRA, he's been doing this for years!

Supreme Court already said that it’s ok to gerrymander based on political party rather than race. They opened the gate to the end of democracy.

The not so SCOTUS is aching to rig elections for big $ and the Federalist

Ranked choice voting with multi-member districts makes gerrymandering irrelevant. More at https://www.rcvresources.org/ and https://fairvote.org/

What good is a voting rights act when votes are manipulated electronically?
What ever happened to the Chinese patents Ivanka received for voting machines? Certainly there must be a way to see if they are viable?.

Is there any doubt that the won’t accept the GOP version? I highly doubt it with this partisan SCOTUS

don't worry @schumer.senate.gov has our back...with his bipartisan capitulation he will make us believe this is all ok, we don't need to fight.🙄🙄

Cue Roberts’s true colors

I know what they're going to say, but still keeping an eye open, because the gerrymandering is a huge part of why Texas looks like it votes Red so much. It's the small pockets of Red voters having as much power as the areas like Houston, DFW, and Austin.
