He pointed out this district hosts the Redstone Arsenal, which lost the Space Command headquarters to Colorado over Alabama's restrictive abortion laws.

That was a shot to the nut sack of that districts economy.

This vote was payback. It may not translate with quite this much oomph elsewhere.

He has a point.

Makes conservatives realize how important it is for them to lie, cheat, steal, rig and browbeat even harder. For, in their head they know it’s the only way people like them will gain power in the land of the free. If they do gain said power they will no longer have to worry about the quaint concept of winning elections. They are a cancer to democracy.
