(61,033 posts)Even if Trump got 46 percent of the vote in 2024, that is LESS than 50 percent, do why would Democrats have to rig the election to win?
In the first place, there is ample proof in polling and special elections that Trump is very likely less popular than he was in 2024 when he was defeated by 8 percent.
Second, he gives no explanation of how it was rigged. In fact, as an out of stater following it mostly through posts here, it was the Republicans using old comments by the governor and Obama to imply they supported a NO vote, when they favored yes.
By the way, it was only in yesterday's coverage that I heard former AG Holder explain that this map was to counter the Republican gerrymandering AND he and top Democrats favored new maps after the next census be done by non partisan teams. For me, this threaded the needle between being against gerrymandering, but realizing that Republican led states doing it means we have to respond in kind.
