Can we stop pretending like this is anything more than an effort to make it more difficult for certain groups to vote?

Is there anyone in this administration who you can trust to tell the truth? They all seem to reach for a lie first before being forced, kicking and screaming, to admit the truth.

Despite Trump administration denials, new evidence suggests census citizenship question was crafted to benefit white Republicans

www.washingtonpost.com/local/social-issues/despite-trump-administration-denials-new-evidence-suggests-census-citizenship-question-was-crafted-to-benefit-white-republicans/2019/05/30/ca188dea-82eb-11e9-933d-7501070ee669_story.html?utm_term=.e2985c61f8d9

Just weeks before the Supreme Court is expected to rule on whether the Trump administration can add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census, new evidence emerged Thursday suggesting the question was crafted specifically to give an electoral advantage to Republicans and whites.

The evidence was found in the files of the prominent Republican redistricting strategist Thomas Hofeller after his death in August. It reveals that Hofeller “played a significant role in orchestrating the addition of the citizenship question to the 2020 Decennial Census in order to create a structural electoral advantage for, in his own words, ‘Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites,’ ” plaintiffs’ lawyers challenging the question wrote in a letter Thursday morning to U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman, one of three federal judges who ruled against the question this year. The lawyers also argued that Trump administration officials purposely obscured Hofeller’s role in court proceedings.

The letter drew on new information discovered on hard drives belonging to Hofeller, which were found inadvertently by his estranged daughter. Stephanie Hofeller Lizon then shared them with the organization Common Cause for a gerrymandering lawsuit it is pursuing in North Carolina.

So many scandals it's truly hard to pick one, but this one is really diabolical imo considering how much time they have dedicated to making it more difficult for certain groups of people to vote....

The truth is this these laws are all about suppressing minority voters. Anybody claiming the opposite is being willfully ignorant at this point. Another example:

1+1=2

It's depressing to me that not one of the Republican\conservtitive or libertarian posters on the board has commented on this story...

Maybe our Russian posters may weigh in?

Nothing more than an election strategy that 100% foul and undemocratic.

Previously: New docs show that architect of GOP gerrymandering was behind Trump's push to add citizenship question to 2020 census, said it "would clearly be a disadvantage to the Democrats” & “advantageous to Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites”

Now:

Rather than compete for minority votes, Republicans want to limit their impact. The Trump administration is covering up a corrupt process it is using to rig politics in America for DECADES. The whole thing was dreamed up by an expert in diluting minority voting power.

These are the facts. Does anybody want to contest them?

Sad part is since "Constitution loving" Republicans stole a Supreme Court seat, despite all the evidence that this is strictly a move to maintain power, they might be successful.

This man wanted Trump's citizenship question on the census to give power to, in his own words(!), "Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites."

This is fine......

Fine for a racist, morally bankrupt and venal Republican Party. Yeah, it's fine. Cowardly Republicans who privately tut-tut and publicly say nothing publicly are complicit dotards scared of their Mango Mussolini.

The GOP of the 21st Century will go down in history as the equivalent of the Know Nothing Party, and rightfully so.

So why does this not matter to Congressional Republicans? Here's a multiple choice answer:

a. They agree with it.
b. They're just Trump sycophants.
c. They're terrified of Trump.
d. They don't give a damn.
e. All of the above.

BREAKING: Supreme Court says federal courts have no role to play in policing political districts drawn for partisan gain. The decision could embolden political line-drawing for partisan gain following the 2020 census.

The Supreme Court says it's on voters to elect representatives who will stop partisan gerrymandering.

But how do you elect honest candidates when your district has been gerrymandered?


The practice of politicians choosing their voters rather than voters choosing their politicians will continue in the United States.

So when is the senile Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross prosecuted for perjury? Or is his dementia an affirmative defense? "Contrived" meaning it lied about the reason.

The Supreme Court on Thursday put on hold the Trump administration’s plan to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census form sent to every household, saying it had provided a “contrived” reason for wanting the information.

The fact that a lot of Republicans view this as a win says a lot....

Having a bunch of safe Dem and R districts just adds to the partisanship and lack of compromise in Government.

So we're a democracy right?
