I believe in the principle representative democracy

A system of self governance based on equal treatment of qualified voters

The right of citizens to vote is a STATE Constitutional right - in all 50 states

And only STATE Courts can protect STATE Constitutional voting rights

The simple thing most people don’t get about partisan gerrymandering is that the damage occurs at the state level

State legislative gerrymandering is where the damage is done

The right to vote is a STATE Constitutional right (see graphic) - as is equal treatment of rights - and only STATE Courts can protect these STATE Constitutional rights

Article 1 of the U.S. institution requires apportioned representation based on a national census

1 st Amendment requires that government not restrict legal speech

Voting is speech, legal speech

13th Amendment requires equal treatment of the laws

To repeat - Voting is speech

In the simplest sense, legislators sorting and selecting voters by partisan affiliation is NOT the equal treatment of qualified voters

Equal treatment of voting is plainly stated in the NC State Constitution. A state constitution they swore to uphold and defend - it’s a requirement of the job

The NC Legislature is plainly violating the NC State Constitution - a state constitution they all swore to uphold and defend as a requirement of their office

With enough data, a 50/50 electorate can be gerrymandered to live under an 80/20 legislative supermajority

One would think that in addition to the plain language of the NC State Constitution -

That Voting is the most essential form of legal speech in a representative democracy

Faux King Morons

Per NY Times

“A 155-millimeter shell fired during a live-fire demonstration (on Trump’s orders) prematurely detonated, dropping fragments of the shell on a California Highway Patrol vehicle and motorcycle that were part of Vice President JD Vance’s protective detail”

The “prosperity gospel” embraced by the evangelical right is just a euphemism for “divine right of kings”

So - No Kings
