Justice Barrett: What is the interest of the GOP in keeping (laws that suppress minority voters) on the books?

Republican Lawyer: It puts us at a competitive disadvantage relative to Democrats. Politics is a zero-sum game.

1. No one has any doubts about voter suppression...

including those doing the suppressing.

2. doesnt sound like a winning argument to me.

expect that to find it's way into the dissent if it goes the wrong way.

3. I dont get his answer. Keeping laws on the books that suppress minority voters puts

them at a competitive ADVANTAGE, not a disadvantage.

4. I think the lawyer was explaining what MORE minority voting does.

More voting by minorities puts Republicans at a disadvantage relative to Democrats.

5. THanks! That makes more sense. It wasn't very clear...at least not to me. But then, why should I

expect clarity from a GOP lawyer? Gaslighting is the norm.

6. No doubt.

They appear to have a very comfortable relationship with lying.

7. Make election a federal holiday

Or 2 holidays. Republicans will not stop trying to suppress the vote because they cannot win unless they cheat.
