Judge Rules Georgia Voters Can’t Be Silenced By Pro-Trump Election Officials

He was forced to use mail-in ballots.

He was not. Although Florida has had no-excuse-needed mail-in voting for decades, it did not go all-mail in 2020. Florida offered early in-person voting.

Which has nothing to do with Trump's voting by mail. When you say "the State", which state are you referring to? Colorado has had primarily mail-in since 2014, Oregon since 2000, and Washington State since 2012 with some other states post-covi

Redistricting is supposed to be done every ten years after the census figures come it. Trump specifically called for Texas to gerrymander for his own political benefit, not for the nation's.

Or, presumably, more Republican seats? Trump asked Gov. Abbott to find him more seats.

And, thanks to Trump's provocation and Newsom's tit for tat, they may have even fewer seats.

Perhaps we could address the problem by ranked voting? You can't make registered votes vote only for the candidate of their own party (outside certain states that limit who can vote in a primary).

Within the context of a Federal Election the term "the State" refers to the Federal Government.

A State does not have to wait for the census and both parties vie for their own benefits, and this redistricting does benefit the State of Texas.

In the context of elections, federal or not, each individual state runs its own, but thank you for clarifying what you meant.

It is common for states to redistrict after each census as populations shift with some states getting more congressmen and some getting fewer. It is relatively rare to redistrict in the middle of a decade, but, sure, a state can if its laws allow it. How does this redistricting, done specifically to get more Republican seats and few Democratic one, i.e. gerrymandering, benefit Texas?

It helps Texas and the country by getting more Republicans in Congress.

That's not really an answer. How does that help?

Are you in favor of a one-party state/country?

That's not really an answer. How does that help?

Good question.

 

[Zaha Torte]

That's not really an answer. How does that help?

I was being pretty clear. More Republicans/Conservatives in Congress helps everyone.
