some of us read the book RATF**ked, The Secret Plan to Steal America' Democracy by David Daley.

Just go to Chapter 9 "Wisconsin, "They put my district in the woodchipper" in the book and read what "operatives " did, and then after you read that chapter lets remind everyone what you think of voting and how GOP RedMap gerrymandered districts..................


And let's go back to remember your republican majority courts past ....................

Shelby County v. Holder
On June 25, 2013, the Supreme Court ruled in Shelby County v. Holder that the coverage formula in Section 4(b) of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), which was used to determine the states and political subdivisions subject to Section 5 preclearance, was unconstitutional. Section 5 is the part of the Voting Rights Act that requires certain jurisdictions to demonstrate to either the Attorney General or a federal court in Washington, D.C., that any proposed voting change is not discriminatory, before that change can be implemented. Thus, while the Court did not invalidate the preclearance mechanism in the Voting Rights Act per se, it effectively halted its use by invalidating the formula that determined which places were subject to the preclearance obligation.



There is a link to being RatF**ked and voting and it is a coincidence.
