Members phkrause Posted April 16, 2023 Author Members Share Posted April 16, 2023 The Effort to Suppress the Vote Is Spreading to the Republican Mainstream It’s bad enough when a trio of voter suppression groups led by charlatans gets together at an annual secret conference that is sponsored, in part, by a group created by the Federalist Society’s Leonard Leo to talk about all the ways they might make it harder for people to register or vote in future elections. But it is much worse when the participants in that secret conference also include secretaries of state and other top election officials from 13 Republican-led states, plus Don Palmer, a member of the United States Election Assistance Commission, plus counsels to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and the House Administration Committee’s Republican staff, and a sitting Texas state senator. The entire conference—whose existence was revealed in a blockbuster report by the Guardian and Documented last week—shows that there is a thriving network of interlocking organizations working with elected and election officials to use unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud to try to mess with fair elections for partisan advantage. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/04/republican-effort-to-suppress-the-vote.html?

In 1976, when Jimmy Carter defeated Gerald Ford, men and women were the same in their partisan preferences. But in 1980, the gap was nine points. Although this gap has been smaller in some elections than in others, for the past half century the gender gap has been a regular feature of American elections.

Members phkrause Posted June 10, 2023 Author Members Share Posted June 10, 2023 Unexpected 2024 flip Democrats across the South got a surprise pick-me-up today from the Supreme Court, with Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh joining the court's liberals in a 5-4 opinion. Why it matters: The court ruled that Alabama Republicans violated Black voters' rights during redistricting after the 2020 census, Axios' Stef Kight and Andrew Solender report. It will likely add a blue seat in Alabama, and could add more in Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina and Texas. Driving the news: The high court ruled that the GOP's congressional map in Alabama — where the population is 27% Black — violated the Voting Rights Act by slicing up majority-Black areas so that only one of the state's seven districts had a majority of Black residents. "This could reverberate to LA, SC and/or GA, forcing creation of 2-4 new Black majority districts and netting Dems 2-4 seats," Cook Political Report's Dave Wasserman tweeted. The big picture: Court watchers were surprised, given the court's trend of rulings on the Voting Rights Act. Kavanaugh wrote a concurring opinion, noting “the authority to conduct race-based redistricting cannot extend indefinitely into the future.” The other side: Republicans argue the legal war to shape the 2024 House map is far from over. And they still may have a chance to flip up to four seats with new maps in North Carolina.
