corporate-funded campaigns that has eroded their ability to represent the working class.</p><p>Three years later, in&nbsp;<a href="https://c.im/tags/Shelby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow

v.<a href="https://c.im/tags/Holder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Holder</span></a>, John Roberts completed his career-long vision quest to dismantle the Voting Rights Act, <br>invalidating its preclearance requirement for states with a history of racial discrimination. </p><p>Erasing the national consensus first achieved in the bloody crucible of the Civil Rights Era <br>and repeatedly reaffirmed by near-unanimous bipartisan Congresses, Roberts deemed racial discrimination a relic of ancient history, <br>declaring that “nearly 50 years later, things have changed dramatically.” </p><p>A flood of Republican state voter suppression laws followed, funded, and orchestrated by the same interests to which Roberts owed his majority. </p><p>“Throwing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet,” <br>Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg warned in her searing Shelby County&nbsp;dissent. </p><p>But soaking us was the whole point.<br>The downpour continues. </p><p>Final results for the 2024 House elections were tallied recently, and Republicans will owe a razor-thin 220-215 majority to the three seats the GOP flipped thanks to the North Carolina legislature’s brazenly partisan gerrymander,

Voting is Your POWER<p>The MAGA Republicans in Raleigh who drew these maps didn’t care about reflecting the will of the people. They cared about power. They used the redistricting process to rig the system, taking advantage of their supermajority to draw lines that would give them three more seats — no matter what the voters wanted. But voters deserve better. They deserve a system where their voices are heard, where their votes matter, and where their representatives are chosen by the people — not by politicians drawing lines behind closed doors. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspol</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/uspolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspolitics</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/gerrymandering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gerrymandering</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/cheating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cheating</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/houseofrepresentatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>houseofrepresentatives</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.charlotteobserver.com/opinion/article296319684.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">charlotteobserver.com/opinion/</span><span class="invisible">article296319684.html</span></a></p>
