All the News that Fits 0

SFgate’s Drew Magary argues that much of the coverage of the current redistricting efforts designed to gut out the vote of the midterm elections is missing the point. Methinks he makes a valid point.

So not only are you and I being subjected to a coordinated plan by the GOP to nullify this fall’s election results before Americans have even gotten a chance to vote, but also to an accompanying disinformation campaign from the establishment media to posit this as just another political tussle. It is not. It is villainy, villainy of the crassest sort.

The entire article is well-worth the few minutes it will take you to read it.
