As for the rest of your bullshit, well, given your denial that NC's GOP was racist when even the Roberts Court knew it was racist, your opinion about "how election boards work" is laughable.
Oh now you want to argue gerrymandering? Not Board of elections?
Gee. Can you settle on a topic?

I'm arguing that you're a racist prick defending other racist pricks without a shred of evidence to support your position.

"The White House coronavirus task force is expressing "great concern" there will be more person-to-person transmissions of the disease after two deaths on American soil -- a message that strongly contrasts with President Donald Trump's earlier rosy forecasts about the situation.

"Top administration officials are also going out of their way to show they are ramping up to counter the widening threat as new cases spring up from coast to coast. Trump, for instance, says he plans to meet leaders from the pharmaceutical industry at the White House on Monday to discuss the search for a vaccine. "Progress being made!" the President tweeted."

What's next? "Mission Accomplished??"

If Kid and Ward had bothered to read the Guardian article...

Quote
A Guardian analysis based on that report confirms what many activists have suspected: the places where the black and Latinx population is growing by the largest numbers have experienced the vast majority of the state’s poll site closures.

The analysis finds that the 50 counties that gained the most Black and Latinx residents between 2012 and 2018 closed 542 polling sites, compared to just 34 closures in the 50 counties that have gained the fewest black and Latinx residents. This is despite the fact that the population in the former group of counties has risen by 2.5 million people, whereas in the latter category the total population has fallen by over 13,000.

Pretty clear what's going down,  given the bolded section.   As Larry says,  what's it say about your party's policies when...

It’s all the same thing. Voter suppression.

Looks like Mayor Pete will endorse Bidet today in Dallas, along with Vice President Klobuchar.

If Dems want to win they’ll leave the Senator off the ticket.
