Like so many of these types of maps, I think someone just made something up. “Andes Peppermint” except for a brief burst of popularity in the late 80s, I dont think Ive ever seen anyone eat those.

Unconstitutional? Wisconsin city election officials sought private money to register voters

GOP official, legal expert says private funding requirements detailed in memos raises ethical, Constitutional issues.

CCity officials in Green Bay, Wis., solicited private money from a voter advocacy group backed by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, pledging they would use some of the $1 million grant to run registration campaigns and conduct outreach to “underrepresented” minority voters, according to memos obtained by Just the News through an open records request.

“[W]e’d like to reach out to the Hmong, Somali and Spanish-speaking communities with targeted mail, geo-fencing, posters (billboards), radio, television and streaming service PSAs, digital advertising, robo calls and robo texts, as well as voter-navigators,” the city’s grant questionnaire to the Center for Tech and Civic Life stated.

“We could also employ our voter navigators to have town halls, registration drives in trusted locations and conduct virtual events,” the questionnaire added.

Legal experts and Wisconsin GOP officials said Wednesday the grant arrangement appeared to put city election officials in the business of conducting partisan activities like get-out-the-vote efforts and registrations usually reserved for political parties and candidates. They added it possibly violated the equal protection clause of the Constitution by targeting only certain ethnic communities deemed favorable to Democrats.

“Using private funds to have government workers implement voter registration drives — that should be done by political groups — is an ethical concern,” Wisconsin GOP chairman Andrew Hitt told Just the News. “And the fact that they initially offered this money to Democrat cities, to target Democrat constituencies, sheds more light on their actual intentions.”

Phill Kline, head of the Thomas More Society’s AMistad Project that has filed lawsuits in several states challenging irregularities in the 2020 election, said the grant application suggested private money was used to “fund partisan political activity by local election officials. Such conduct violates equal protection and federal law. Such private interests must not be in the voting booth or the counting room.”

A recent leftist college research project funded by a generous Federal Government grant shows that 112.5% of these "maps" are made up in moms' basements.

Yeah....I call Fake News on this map :-)

Agree, Lil Farmer, pecan pie sounds like GA, to me.

When I picked up my GA peaches, this summer, they gave me a free bag of GA pecans. Those went fast, for baking.
