The RNC’s lawyer confirmed today in the US Supreme Court that the GOP is “injured” electorally when there is not racial discrimination in voting.

Listen.

2. The people have spoken, those bastards!

Paraphrasing a famous line. Yeah it’s a pillar of their program.

7. It's not a flaw in the GQP, it's a feature

[soothsayer]

18. Hey Marc E Elias agrees: For the GOP this is a feature, not a flaw.

"Taken together, the new barriers would have an outsize impact on Black voters, who make up roughly one-third of the state’s population and vote overwhelmingly Democratic."

We must and will fight back.

3. That's a shame.

4. So which party do you injure, the people or the GOP?

Obviously keeping the GOP in power is more important. No contest, according to republicans.

5. Wow Barrett is quite the speaker huh?

The first time I heard this I was trying to figure out who was asking the question. Sounds like someone who got the job after one short interview

15. Go figure.

9. omfg, THERE IS NO TOMORROW IF kGOP WINS IN 2022!! They're done with democracy, they know how

... to cheat what gets them the wins and what has worked in the past and unless we can brute force the vote like we did in 2020 every time we lose.

Meaning we have to be plus 2 - 3% to win elections ... we need HR1 yesterday

[OMGWTF]

12. Call your US Rep and tell them to support HR 1 -- it's being voted on now.

16. damn, but we need 1234312 hours of a Trump support golfer breaking his leg

... we're screwed if this doesn't go through

10. GOP war on people of color continues n/t

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Then they have admitted they are not arguing on principle but on self-interest

which should, in a real Court, show they have tainted motives and unclean hands in bringing this suit.

[judesedit]

13. Yeah. Cause they know when the majority votes, they lose.

They think the white and wealthy only should rule this country and that they should get all the perks. They are the minority and it's been going on for far too long

[Deminpenn]

14. My first thought was the same when I read that in a local

news story. Did the GOP just admit they are "injured" by fair voting? Wow, that is something!

17. How are so many voters being given incorrect ballots?

I would think that when the voter checks in, the poll workers check the registration list to make sure the voter is registered and then gives the voter a ballot to fill out. Certainly if the poll worker is checking the list they would see, before giving out the ballot, where the voter lives and which precinct he/she should be voting in. In fact, why would they be on a list of the precinct voters at all if they weren't in the correct precinct.

And why wouldn't/shouldn't the voter have a chance to remedy the situation as soon as it is determined he/she is in the wrong precinct?

This whole business already, without the rule change, smells to high heaven.

Or am I missing something?
