    So since those 45,000 aren’t going to get representation, surely they won’t have to deal with taxation right?

      You didn’t read the article…

      And neither did anyone who upvoted you, which is even more depressing

        Not much of an article really. I read it and the ballots are being tossed. What are you on about?

            Because the vote is being rerun

            … Until the GOP gets the results they want.

            And you can guarantee those 45K voters can all get back to vote again when the government decides they’ll count it this time?

            No election is being “rerun”. They simply cancelled the mail-in ballots of the primaries, and the gouvernor just points that the “real” vote happens in November.

          What are you on about?

          That it’s a primary…

          And that the linked article clarified a new primary is held in July…

          Do you understand if you’re nicer people will put more effort in and if not they’ll probably just not bother helping you understand something?

          You’re acting like I need to argue with you about this, I don’t.

          If you want to be wrong, I’m 100% ok just never trying to help you understand something

            I had something much longer written after I saw this post, but I don’t think that approach will work with you. I delete so many comments before posting because I see you in a thread and decide it isn’t worth it. I agree with you on a ton of stuff, but you make me want to avoid so many interactions here. I must not understand what type of help you think you are giving people, but you are one of the few people I actively avoid because you come off so confrontational no matter what other people say. I don’t block you because I don’t think you are stupid or that your takes are necessarily bad, but hell, do you ever say them in the worst way possible so often.

            This is solely meant to be constructive, I want so badly to like seeing your comments, but you make it such a challenge. After what feels like months of feeling this way, I just had to say it. If you approached your comments in a different way, you could be someone that I could really learn from due to the amount you share and the importance of a lot of it, but you make someone even as calm as I am just clench up and expect confrontation, so I go out of my way to avoid you. Take that how you will, but again, just an honest opinion and something intended to be helpful.

            You left out the reason for re-running the primary: they needed the time to impose a racist gerrymander now that the Supreme Court said that’s OK.
