A loose quote from Arthur Miller’s play “The Crucible” describing the machinations of the village church politics in Salem before the witchcraft accusations. It also speaks to TrumpCircusTheatrics.
Diane K24: What kills me is the case of gerrymandering in Alabama, where the U.S. Supreme Court ordered changes, and the GOP State Legislature persisted in the unbalanced districts in the face of court order.
Florida, Alabama, Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia are called “throwback states”. I always assumed it meant they wanted to return to the “old” days….
“South Carolina latest state to use congressional map deemed illegal
The Supreme Court heard arguments on the redistricting case in October but has yet to rule, essentially running out the clock for this year’s election”
“a federal court ruled Thursday that time had run out to draw a new congressional district in South Carolina and that the state would have to proceed this fall with an existing election map the court had previously deemed illegal.”
“Voting rights advocates decried the ruling, saying it is unjust to hold even one election in districts that are unconstitutional.”

If it’s to the Republican’s benefit, the Supreme Court will slow walk every time.
Our daughter lives in SC and she can barely talk about the voting inequities there. Not only that there are so many election-deniers, you’d think Mar-a-Lago was in SC. Disgusting.
