    I thought the head line was so bombastic.

    “By specifically directing voting advertisements to these and many other racial or ethnic ‘detailed targeting’ terms, it is readily apparent that Harris County is attempting to increase the likelihood that only certain racial and ethnic groups—but not all—will vote,” the lawsuit reads. “In any event, there can be no legitimate reason for Harris County to intentionally target voter advertisements toward this peculiar assortment of African American, Asian, and Latino ethnicities, cultural interests, and countries, but not toward any European ethnicities.”

    But no, JFC, that is exactly what he said.

      Why do you think the right wing activists mounted a campaign to destroy ACORN, using bullshit fraudulent journalism?

      It’s the same reason they dislike things like early voting, mail-in voting and so on. Any effort to make it easier to vote they oppose, because they want to find ways to hand elections to the racist party.

      The conservatives absolutely lost their minds when Obama won two terms, but they went nuts again under Covid. For many reasons. But part of that was, yes, they initially thought it was going to affect black people more and that didn’t really pan out. Also I think a part of that had to do with mail-in voting that was put into place in some areas.
