“Texas is one of many southern states that is under the post-bellum voter rights act that allows the feds to interfere with their elections.”

With friends like this, who needs enemies?
The other states aren’t.

One really has to wonder at what point Reconstruction will be finished - its only been 147 years since the end of the War of Northern Aggression ended, yet somehow a mere law passed by Congress and signed by a President allow for an entire region of the country to be treated as little better than a colony in terms of self-rule.
I'd like someone to remind me why it is, exactly, that the entire South should remain part of the US? [By the way, I say that as someone who came to Texas from the Northeast less than 12 years ago, and whose ancestors were busy being oppressed by one or another Czar of all the Russias for a couple hundred years during the time we had slavery and about 40 years of Jim Crow here - IOW, I never had any dog in the North vs. South fight, but I am getting increasingly fed up with the conventional view of things as taught up North].
Yep, I couldn’t believe the weak pandering to the race baiters club.
You do have a point, It really does make one wonder if any federal election matters. Or is Washington just going to do whatever it wants to do to us & our states anyway.
As i have been saying before, I am increasingly preswaded that nothing short of a revolution will restore & secure our rights at this point. The question is how do we execute a revolution?
