    Im listening to a group of about 200 labor union lawyers at this very moment. Theyre saying its an existential threat to voting rights.

      They’re likely talking about the redistricting…

      If you think they’re talking about the 45k primary ballots that would be recast, I’d love a link.

      But again, I think you’re talking about something different than the article you’re commenting on right now

        They specifically mentioned the 45k primary ballots in Louisiana. Its part of the overall conversation. Im in the room with them so no link unfortunately.

        The overall message from what Im getting is that the right wing is in lockstep to disenfranchise voters, and the 45k votes that were thrown out in Louisiana is a symptom of that movement.

          Yeah, this is clearly a big deal. They started having an election and then cancelled the election after it had already started so they could redraw the districts and get a better outcome.

          Could you imagine if they started voting for the presidential election and then they were like “hang on, we didn’t like where that was going. Pause for a few months so we can redraw the districts”? People would (rightfully) be losing their shit.

          So that’s not the main topic…

          They just mentioned it when talking about the larger issue…

          Like, if someone said Hitler was one of the worst people to ever lived, and he was a bad painter…

          Would you think the reason hitler was one of the worst people is be ause he was a bad painter?

          This is a bigger problem than any one topic, this is a fundental logic flaw

              I don’t think you know what “bad faith” means…

              But you’ll have to find someone else to answer your questions now.

              Little advice since you just left reddit 12 hours ago, becareful burning bridges here, there’s not a lot of people on here willing to help others understand things.

              You’re gonna run out quickly at this pace.
