We know we're not all equal, because our votes are not being counted equally.
Because of gerrymandering and the electorate college most of us already are worth less than one full American. This country uses a devious way to dilute our power, even before we walk into the voting booth.
So, I was wondering, is there a map somewhere that has calculated the fraction of human being that we each stand for? You know there has to be such a map, because the clever reactionary right has been using these math hiccups for quite a while. They know exactly how many more people we have to bring to the polls, to offset their lesser number of votes. It's such a game that it is beginning to make sense that they would intentionally go out to populate the States where the electorate college gives them an edge.
The election in 2000 exposed another kind of flaw, when it was known that areas of Florida that were populated heavily with Democrats used machines with a higher rate of spoiled ballots. Thus, the Florida Democrats missed a huge opportunity to "find votes" by not upgrading the machines. I think that situation still stands.
Wouldn't it be, ha-ha, funny if we became competitive in 2024 if the Fl. Democrats did nothing else but upgrade those machines?
Does it cost money? How much does it cost us when we lose?
So, anyway, I think someone needs to put up that map, because I want to buy a shirt that shows how much of my real worth has been taken from me as an American. I love this country enough to wear that shirt, even though its a sad statement about the false promises that define this time period in America. But, by wearing that shirt, it lets other people know that I know that we live under an unfair system and that, I'm someone that wants that to change for the better for the next generation.
