    You’re telling me that the solution to systemic voter suppression is a massive urban exodus to spread out the voting population until it’s homogenous?

    That’s the solution, instead of I dunno, forcing the Texas government to stop suppressing voters?

      Well yeah, do that too. But as long as we’re weighing votes based on land, Texas will remain a red state.

      Fixing voter suppression tactics might help federal elections. Probably just Senate, actually. But state office elections…there are far more red counties and towns than there are blue cities and towns. And somehow that matters.
