This David, this 100-fold: "Republicans aren’t redrawing congressional districts because they are a strong, popular party. They are gerrymandering because they know the people are pissed, and they are trying to escape accountability."
Accountability, simply a word that does not exist in the GOP playbook. As i watch the daily chaos of a president who can't stay awake during the day and cannot sleep at night, it has become crystal clear the man is well past his prime.
The funny thing is, his prime is/was and always will be that of a con man. Man of the people, my ass. His one and only concern has been how much can he grift from the 30% of the rubes who adore him?
Thanks David. While the media seems intent on inciting panic over gerrymandering, I feel that the public is plenty peeved. Republicans will stay home and Democrats are super motivated to vote. Just because they say a district is red does not guarantee a red victory. Funny that the R’s seem oblivious to Independent voters. I have talked to others here in Florida that have stayed on the Republican rolls for several reasons. One is that we are a closed primary state, but the biggest is fear. With states willingly turning over voter data, many fear retaliation from an administration hell bent on purging so many citizens of our God and constitution given rights. Trump is writing campaign ads for any and all democrats. Now we just need a coherent message on how we get out of this hell he has created.
My first thought as well: First mistake using ChatGPT. Second quoting an NPR poll. The polling bros in general have had less than stellar results. There is also that Rs are registering more voters than Ds and many names are being jettisoned from the rolls because those people are dead or living in a P O Box. The reports of MAGA’s demise are greatly exaggerated.
You realize leaving dead people on the rolls- who you know are dead - means you more easily capture any fraudulent voting using said dead people's registration or attempting to register as said dead person?
How about a CNN poll showing 70% disapproval on Trump's handling of the economy - their lowest polling on that matter for Trump ever?
I don’t recall too many purges of voting rolls in CA or MI or AZ because they caught dead voters voting do you? Or why those states refuse to hand over their data to the Feds? Please share if you do. Yes, folks are unhappy with the economy right now.
It's important to note that every state removes dead people *eventually* - it's a question of how long it takes. If someone dies between removals in states without systems in place to automate that, then they are removed at the next event.
CA regularly and in many cases automatically removes dead voters from the rolls. An example from Orange County on what triggers removal:
-Returned mail that is marked “Deceased”.
-Periodic death records provided by the Orange County Health Care Agency.
-The “VoteCal Deceased List”, which is a list of deceased voters provided by the California Secretary of State’s office multiple times per year.
-The Registrar of Voters office checks the obituaries listed in the newspapers daily.
-The Registrar of Voters office also cancels inactive voters who have not participated in two consecutive federal general elections, pursuant to California -Elections Code 2226.
-Notification from a family member, including the name, address and date of death of the deceased.
-Utilization of a third-party data provider, which provides national deceased voter data.
- Notify our office about a deceased voter. (note: this is a link to a notification form)
Only comment: never trust ChatGPT with facts.

Nothing he does is about us, only him. Nothing.

It’s normal to have dead people on voter rolls for a while. That does not mean they are voting.
Lots of legitimate voters use PO Boxes.
