Leopards Don’t Change Their Spots 🐆

Worth remembering that one of the key budgetary reasons RNC had to outsource field operations was a big investment, at Trumps insistence, in “ballot integrity” which is essentially a mix of aggressive voter harassment and trying to disqualify voters at voting locations.

It’s worth remembering that from 1982 to 2018, the RNC was under a consent decree.

That agreement prevented the RNC from carrying out what the party saw as ballot security measures and what critics deemed voter suppression.

That came after the year of Jubilee when Shelby County v Holder declared we no longer needed to enforce the VRA (or the 15th Amendment) anymore.

Everything new is indeed old again. And time does wound all heals.
