This one is pretty fucking serious. It’s not about voter fraud, it’s about shitcanning everyone’s ability and right to vote.
Instead of being elected by the people, Senators would be chosen by the State legislatures, guaranteeing that the majority party would pick Senators of their own party.
If there is a vacancy the Governor would appoint a Senator for the remainder of the term. The pick could not be changed by the legislature or the public.
State legislators can recall a Senator at any time.
.If successful, they will reverse one of the great strides toward democracy in American history: the 1913 decision to end the corrupt practice of letting state legislators barter off Senate seats in backroom deals with campaign donors and lobbyists.
It seems gerrymandering the House is not enough for Republicans who want to completely shut out opposing voices. Yet, gerrymandering does fit with a long-term plan to turn America into a permanent single-party-rule nation.
With control of 32 state legislatures, the GOP would have an easy time hand-picking fascist-conservatives to fill up the senate.
WHAT. THE FUCK
This means, as long as one party can gerrymander their statehouses, they can pick their senators too.
See, they call themselves the “silent majority” which is a lie they very much are the political minority.
Usually, the only way they’re able to win elections (whether they be national or state wide) is by dishonesty, lies, trickery, double speak, and making voting polls difficult to reach.
Pathetic.
Republicans Are So Afraid Of Fair Elections, They Want To Take Away Your Right To Vote For Senator
