Subject: RE: BS: Political education and voting
Politics is damned depressing, with how strong the minority of GOP zealots have gerrymandered districts so they can actually win elections. It's time to federally block that kind of district line drawing.

Still no information about candidates in the village. I'll vote for the other guy (my neighbor told he me was asked to run because there wasn't much to offer on the ballot - I think that's code for a GOP person doesn't want a Democrat in office.) And on the separate ballot they're all stinkers. In a big river development project there isn't a single scientist or academic with knowledge of the process or environmental impact, just Realtors who are in it for the profits they can make buying and selling river frontage.

Bleh. But I will vote. They're trying to pass laws now regarding dropping people off of the roles if they don't participate regularly. More Texas voter suppression crap.
