Didn't Justice John Roberts mention the "new south" in saying voter's rights were no longer required as justification for over turning civil rights laws for African Americans? This and the hundreds of voter suppression laws that red states are enacting must be heaping shit on his face by the ton. Perhaps he and some other SCOTUS justices should crawl out from under the pile when it comes to new voters rights and HR1. Gerrymandering and racism gives you the Jim Jordans, Matt Gaetzs and other radical right psychos that not even the republicans could control. These people and the process that put them there are a real and present danger to the country and constitution. Besides they no longer have a political home, but are wandering the political wilderness along with many of the actual conservatives you see on TV shitting on the republicans.https://apnews.com/article/holidays-lifestyle-alabama-memorial-day-mississippi-e37cbab5452e13bfd10073648cafd363

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — State offices were closed Monday in Alabama and Mississippi for Confederate Memorial Day, which a watchdog group used to call for the removal of additional monuments to the Confederacy.
The Montgomery-based Southern Poverty Law Center, in a statement, said Confederate symbols erected by Southern heritage groups were used by white supremacists “as tools of racial terror” and said 170 were removed across the nation last year.
“We recognize that removing these symbols is only the first step. We must work for racial justice and an honest reckoning with our country’s past and present. That cannot be accomplished by removing a memorial or renaming a school, but it is a necessary step,” said the statement.
Alabama and Mississippi have two more Confederate-related state holidays besides Confederate Memorial Day. Both states jointly observe Robert E. Lee Day with Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in January, and Alabama marks the birthday of Confederate President Jefferson Davis in February. Mississippi marks Davis’s birthday on federal Memorial Day in May.
Confederate Memorial Day was made a state holiday in Alabama in 1901, the same year the state’s Constitution, which was intended to guarantee white supremacy, was approved.
South Carolina will mark Confederate Memorial Day on May 10. Texas observes Confederate Heroes Day in January.

Arizona Audit Underway
OAN Newsroom
UPDATED 8:27 AM PT – Monday, April 26, 2021
Ballot counters are working hard in Arizona to snuff-out voting irregularities in last year’s presidential election and fight off Democrat attempts to derail them.
On Sunday, forensic experts confirmed they are examining thousands of ballots cast in November as part of the audit in the Grand Canyon State. They are using ultra-violet lights to search for ballot watermarks and weed-out phony ballots.
Additionally, auditors have been split into several groups with some examining mail-in ballots and others inspecting ballot folders, envelopes along with other related items.
Democrat Party officials have tried to challenge the audit in court and they are deploying their operatives in the mainstream media in an attempt downplay the severity of election fraud as well as discredit Republican challenges to election security.
Arizona Republicans were able to continue the audit after thwarting Democrat attempts to derail the audit this weekend. On Friday, Democrats filed a temporary restraining order to stop auditors from counting the ballots. They later retreated from their position after a judge ordered them to pay $1 million if they lost their legal challenge.
The chair of the Arizona GOP, Dr. Kelly Ward, commented on the victory and gave insight into what’s to come. She said the state’s Supreme Court is set to make a decision to prevent Democrat attempts to stop the audit. The Arizona justices believe an audit is a constitutional right that protects election integrity and ensures the separation of powers.
Ward is now asking all Americans to keep watching the audit in real-time and reach out to support this effort to save U.S. elections.
Meanwhile, Trump-era trade advisor Peter Navarro has been looking ahead to a similar audit in Georgia. He predicts an audit would likely reveal election fraud in the 2020 election just as it is in Arizona. Navarro added, the scale of voter fraud in Georgia is “much larger than in Arizona” and cited preliminary estimates.
The former Trump administration advisor believes election officials let fraud slide through due to collusion between Georgia officials and Democrat Party operatives. He stressed these audit will reveal patterns of systemic fraud that were used by Democrats in battleground states last year.

Looks like more bullshit attacks from Texas (who along with Florida have gained seats due to Trump's census scam).
A Michigan judge denied an effort Monday morning to conceal the identities of the "forensic investigators" behind an analysis that spurred unsubstantiated election fraud claims from supporters of President Donald Trump.
On Dec. 14, attorney Matthew DePerno and his client, Antrim County resident William Bailey, successfully urged Judge Kevin Elsenheimer to allow the release of a 23-page report on voting machines in the county. Michigan officials called the report inaccurate and misleading, but Trump, who lost the state by 154,000 votes, said it showed "massive fraud."
DePerno later asked Elsenheimer to issue a protective order, barring the Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's office and Attorney General Dana Nessel's office from disclosing the names of the "forensic team" involved in the analysis.
During a Monday court hearing, DePerno contended that the release of the information would lead to threats against the individuals. He labeled Nessel, a Democrat whose office opposed the protective order request, "extremely partisan" and "militant."
"It is clear that Dana Nessel can't be trusted with this basic information, like the names and identities of these people on the forensic team," DePerno said. "She will publicly reveal their information."
Elsenheimer, a former Republican state lawmaker, disagreed, saying the names of expert witnesses in the case are a matter of court record. Barring the release of their names would be "extraordinary," he said.
"The court believes that is frankly part of the process," the judge said. "The court system is an open one. When one participates in it, there is a loss, if you will, of privacy, absent some specific clear threat against a person that is actionable."
But Elsenheimer said personal identifying information, like phone numbers and email addresses, should not be released.
Erik Grill, an assistant attorney general, has argued that the people behind the analysis and their professional credentials were an important part of the report itself.
"There is no such thing as a secret expert," Grill said.
Antrim County, which is reliably Republican, has been in the national spotlight because its initial results on election night showed President-elect Joe Biden, a Democrat, ahead of Trump by 3,200 votes. Election officials later determined there were problems in the tabulation of the results, and Trump ended up winning the county by more than 3,700 votes in the final tally, which was later confirmed by an audit.
But supporters of the president jumped on the initial error and have used it in their attempt to discredit the results in multiple battleground states that voted for Biden and the voting technology used in Antrim County, Dominion Voting Systems.
But John Poulos, CEO of Dominion Voting Systems,told Michigan lawmakers on Dec. 15 that there were no "switched or deleted votes" involving his company's machines.
Why do I have the feeling that some of these people are gonna go to prison over this bullshit.They got one going for Michigan now too. I hit a paywall on the Mlive so can't post the story. I think I heard in first on Maddow last night. These Liberty University 'I am not racist, but' types that we have unfortunately had take over our Republican party are really going all out for Trump who is also not above using foreign propaganda to keep their scam alive.
Future redistricting will produce many thin pie piece shaped districts with the thin edge of the wedge extending into cities or suburbs and the wider end in the country side for more balanced rural/urban districts where possible. Most cities will share districts with large surrounding rural areas where possible. Straight geographic lines where possible for a better democracy. Gerrymandering leads to political extremes, right and left, balanced districts leads to balanced policy and a more centrist and stable electorate.They got one going for Michigan now too.

Hopefully. This shit is criminal.Why do I have the feeling that some of these people are gonna go to prison over this bullshit.
Again I hope this happens, but right now the Republicans are showing that this scam is still ongoing because they are not letting up.Future redistricting will produce many thin pie piece shaped districts with the thin edge of the wedge extending into cities or suburbs and the wider end in the country side for more balanced rural/urban districts where possible.
