“The New Jim Crow” by Joyce Vance
Vance provides historical details about racial gerrymandering, particularly in Alabama. She concludes that “...as you look at Alabama and other Southern states reintroducing racist gerrymanders, don’t think it can’t happen anywhere else. The Supreme Court has changed course. States can too. Trump isn’t building a ballroom for the next guy. It’s up to us to hold the line.”
An example of true grift, including the cost to the American taxpayer. Why aren’t Republican leaders doing anything about this?
