The New Jim Crow is just like the Old Jim Crow. Disgusting, but let’s just all be clear. There is no ambiguity
I saw that.
John Kavanagh is now doing the corruption thing out in the open.
He wants to be the one who decides who can vote, a politician picking voters.
So only old white dudes.
I’ve interacted with him enough to know he’s not that bright, but saying the corruption and racism out loud to a national cable network is dumb even for him.
“Everybody shouldn’t be voting”…. WTF. I rage
Regarding SB1005, what’s wrong with increasing the description to 200 words? It will give voters more information and reduce lawsuits claiming voters did not get an adequate description of the measure. Also, there are no petitions for referendums, which are legislative referrals.
