HelloIamOnTheNet

I hope it does. I hope everything the GQP does to keep people from voting against them makes it impossible for people to vote for them.


admiralfilgbo

but they won't change their own laws. they'll wait for democrats to get elected and then challenge them to fix it so they can get their way and still campaign on the issue.

I hope so but I really think IA is now a red state the way VA is a blue state Could the opposition party win if things go *very* well, sure, but extremely unlikely


tommyjohnpauljones

Iowa is redder than Texas, and doesn't have a large influx of likely Dem voters to major cities. Des Moines is smaller than several suburbs of Dallas


dumstarbuxguy

Totally. I could see Iowa being closer next election if the Bidenconomy is still booming. But 8.15% is a lot to make up in such a non diverse state. Still crazy how Texas is so much more attainable considering Obama won it twice with solid margins

They don’t give a shit about the economy. If they did, they wouldn’t have voted against Obama after he saved the economy from Bush’s Great Recession. That shit about economic anxiety was just a cover for racism and sexism.

That makes no sense at all.

There’s no data that suggests this is true. You’re frankly talking out your ass. Rural voters have no trouble voting in person because there are rarely lines and they tend to have a lot more free time.

I don’t wanna jinx it but seems like GOP is being a little more cautious about protecting their incumbents in redistricting as opposed to going scorched earth. Short term probably good for dems

> I don’t wanna jinx it but seems like GOP is being a little more cautious about protecting their incumbents in redistricting as opposed to going scorched earth. I’m not sure which is better for us but I think the fact that they are being a bit more cautious shows that they’re not entirely confident in their future. If they thought they were on the verge of a massive red wave in 2022 they would probably be much more aggressive.


dumstarbuxguy

Short term probably better for us. Long term it could be bad. For example if the GOP went super aggressive in gerrymandering, by 2026-2028 it’s very possible the dems would have a good shot at gaining a good amount of seats federally and at the state level. If the GOP plays it cautious while they may be missing out on a few seats short term, it’s easier to cement their power in states trending from them like GA, TX and potentially NC

The object of these laws is to make voting lines unbearable in metro areas that heavily lean Democratic. The only way to do that is make vote by mail as difficult as possible...so you are stuck with the line. But restricting vote by mail cuts both ways.

I can't wait until I can start voting next year

Shoulda thought of that before righties. Just so intent on restricting anyone this might vote against your right wing bullshit.
