"SNIP.......

An anonymous group is sending a misleading text to Kansas voters telling them to “vote yes” in order to protect choice, the Kansas City Star reports.

The only problem is that it’s the exact opposite: a “yes” vote would mean that “there is no Kansas constitutional right to abortion,” while a “no” vote would mean preserving the current language on the state’s constitution, which protects a women’s right to an abortion.

4. Shouldn't this kind of intentional misdirection be illegal when

it comes to voting/elections?

Lying isn’t considered okay because of “freedom of speech” in any sane household, and shouldn’t be in elections.

5. They can't win without cheating

It's really sad and pathetic. A party whose sole strategy is to deceive and gaslighting voters.

I also got a spam text from some MAGAt group minutes after the eric endorsement
