    The latest round of redistricting in Galveston County, a community of 350,000 people, redrew a district in which Black and Hispanic voters together had made up a majority of voters. The redrawn boundaries reduced their combined share of the district’s electorate to 38 percent.

    leaders rigged the election to get elected and to keep holding power

    voting is a sham

    and both parties participate in different ways to keep people from voting

      That’s called gerymandering.

      And yes, unilateral disarmament is a dumb idea — the Democrats ended gerrymandering in a few states (eg: California) but aren’t going to end it nationally except as part of a law to do it for the whole country. Which the Republicans have blocked at the federal level.

        just to both party this

        Democrats and Republicans both are for funding police and making new laws and legislations for the citizens to be arrested on restricting access and rights to voting

        when has either party pushed for more education funding which again restricts the citizens from voting by taking away choices or for universal healthcare

        all related to voting access and rights

        an population that is impoverished, malnourished, uneducated, sick, trampled on by the authorities are way easier to control when it comes to elections

          Removed for misinformation. Democrats are absolutely not in the business of restricting voting access. That is solely a Republican issue.
