So since those 45,000 aren’t going to get representation, surely they won’t have to deal with taxation right?
So since those 45,000 aren’t going to get representation
You didn’t read the article…
And neither did anyone who upvoted you, which is even more depressing
I knew Republicans would try and steal this election because that is what Republicans always try to do, but I honestly didn’t think they’d be so open and brazen about it
There have not been any consequences for well over 30 years. And now the public is glued to their stupid screens and have the mental capacity of a retarded squirrel.
there’s no rule of law, American liberals are extremely meek, there’s no resistance, no reason for them to even hide it.
He’s absolutely right. It’s not a big deal, because no one will do anything about it. Republicans march toward fascism while Democrats wag their finger.
Why do you think a primary moving back two months is a big deal?
And how can those 45k ballots be used when some of the districts have changed?
I’m trying to figure out if I’m missing something, or everyone else is…
Because they did it so black people don’t get a say.
They redistricted to dilute the Black vote…
That is not what the headline is referring to with the 45k number…
That is the amount of votes that were already cast in a primary for the old maps…
And those ballots are discarded, and those voters will vote in two months in the districts they’re no in.
What you’re talking about isn’t what the article you’re commenting on is about buddy.
“But voting was already happening,” Vega said, cutting Landry off. “As we sit here right now, more than 45,000 ballots have been returned. What happens to those?”
In the previous article linked earlier, it says the primary will be in July, it’s confusing because in this article he jumps straight to talking about the general
Does it make sense now?
You’re nitpicking semantics when fascism is taking place. And you’re being a dick fo some reason.
No…
I’m explaining that you don’t understand what the article you’re commenting on and you’re being very aggressive about it for some reason.
For some reason there’s been a steady stream of new accounts like yours accusing me of “being a dick” for explaining things logically.
No…
I said one comment. You’ve been arguing pedantry up and down this thread. Get outside or something, dude.
Weird…
You think the way to get someone to comment about something less…
Is to reply to them about it?
Yeah bud, facts and/or logic isn’t going to help.
I’m gonna block you now, if you want to keep replying me, feel free.

This was done post the gutting of voting rights by the Supreme Court.
They’re no longer valid, because Louisiana now has the ability to racially gerrymander away black majority districts that were previously protected by law.
So these votes were cast in a world where racially based gerrymandering was illegal, but now that it’s not, Louisiana can KKK all over the districts, which is what they have done.
You’re saying, and have repeated it over and over, that race based gerrymandering doesn’t matter. That it’s actually good that Louisiana is now legally able to disenfranchise black voters through gerrymandering.
More than that, you’re saying that it’s okay to start race-based gerrymandering in the middle of an election, and in doing so, invalidate votes already cast, because it serves white supremacy and the Republican party.
And because I’m sure you will claim you’re not saying that, let me just get ahead of you by saying yes, yes you are, and you’ve made at least three comments in here saying how this is not a big deal, and that it’s actually good.
You’re saying, and have repeated it over and over, that race based gerrymandering doesn’t matter
Nope.
The decision is completely different.
What would be worse, is if they said those 45k already voted and counting them under the new map even if that meant the candidates that were voted for by African Americans in those two districts obviously can’t run in every district that their voters are now in…
That would be bad.
I’m not sure why you’re so upset about this instead of waiting to see if there was something you were missing.
Does it make sense now?
Because if you still have questions and ask them the same way, Im probably just going to never attempt to help you again
Sometimes it’s hard to tell if someone is speaking in bad faith, or is just a moron.
This is one of those times.
Just the 30+ point difference…
But you’ll have to find someone else to answer your questions now, best of luck
We’re fucked.
They incidentally would have all likely voted Democrat, but that is not a big deal either…
So…
That was 45k primary ballots, for districts that aren’t the same as when they were sent out…
And a new primary with the actual districts will happen in July?
That legitimately isn’t a big deal unless I’m missing something here.
And progressive Dems are likely to do better after another two months of shit going to hell anyways.
Like, I hate to say it, but if you read more than just a headline I really don’t see how this is a big deal.
I’d say that this whole thing is a big bullshit deal, because they are fucking around with the election with the intent to give more power to the party that is tearing down America. It all should not be happening.
What shouldn’t be happening is the SC decision…
That should be the focus, not headlines that are basically lies to muddy the water and get people confused and disorganized instead of focused on the real problem…
But why would billionaire owned media want the people united and focused on real problems?
Im listening to a group of about 200 labor union lawyers at this very moment. Theyre saying its an existential threat to voting rights.
They’re likely talking about the redistricting…
If you think they’re talking about the 45k primary ballots that would be recast, I’d love a link.
But again, I think you’re talking about something different than the article you’re commenting on right now
They specifically mentioned the 45k primary ballots in Louisiana. Its part of the overall conversation. Im in the room with them so no link unfortunately.
The overall message from what Im getting is that the right wing is in lockstep to disenfranchise voters, and the 45k votes that were thrown out in Louisiana is a symptom of that movement.
Yeah, this is clearly a big deal. They started having an election and then cancelled the election after it had already started so they could redraw the districts and get a better outcome.
Could you imagine if they started voting for the presidential election and then they were like “hang on, we didn’t like where that was going. Pause for a few months so we can redraw the districts”? People would (rightfully) be losing their shit.
They specifically mentioned the 45k primary ballots in Louisiana
So that’s not the main topic…
They just mentioned it when talking about the larger issue…
Like, if someone said Hitler was one of the worst people to ever lived, and he was a bad painter…
Would you think the reason hitler was one of the worst people is be ause he was a bad painter?
This is a bigger problem than any one topic, this is a fundental logic flaw
I dont bother with bad faith. Best of luck.
I don’t think you know what “bad faith” means…
But you’ll have to find someone else to answer your questions now.
Little advice since you just left reddit 12 hours ago, becareful burning bridges here, there’s not a lot of people on here willing to help others understand things.
You’re gonna run out quickly at this pace.
👍🏻
Can we MAKE it a big deal?
The votes aren’t a big deal because they will be recast. His statement is therefore accurate. The big deal is the decision that prompted them to cancel the election in the first place.
