The republicans only know how to cheat….

Well….not sure if you read about the latest supreme court case where the repubs again tried to cheat the system and destroy how voting districts have been drawn since the beginning of the country. In the case Evenwel v. Abbott, the repubs tried to get the court to throw out over 200 years of precedent and the constitution with it to allow them to draw districts only taking into account voters in the districts…a change that would allow rural areas to out vote cities since cities have a larger concentration of people that can’t vote…or don’t vote and the motivated repub base in the rural areas then could dictate to the cities what goes on there. This runs directly counter to the one person, one vote tradition that has been the interpretation of the constitution since the country was founded….and since when do only voters deserve to have a voice in our society? Don’t kids and non-voters deserve representation? The only thing you need to know about this suit is that was brought by the same asshole billionaire who got the court to gut the voting rights act when Scalia was alive…I hope this 8-0 drubbing will keep this guy from filing any more frivolous suits whose only goal is to cheat and tilt the playing field to the repubs…but, the repubs only know how to cheat so I guess we will see more of this crap in the future…geez…
