minus-squareOptionalOPlinkfedilink25•16 hours agoWell they’d still be able to vote in a gerrymandered district, but as far as voter suppression, it was at an all time high, in terms of ratfucking attempts, but it’s still small compared to the overall population of non-voters. Pew research found that: Among those eligible to vote who say they did not cast a ballot, 42% say they wish they had voted while 57% say they do not. So. Don’t give a damn til their shit blows up in real time.
