“You’re not saving money,” she said. “You’re sacrificing democracy to save a buck.”

@ProPublica More Texas gerrymandering. They're so afraid of people voting in Texas that they're getting rid of polling locations.

Dude. No, no, no, no...
You got it backwards; they're saving a buck - to sacrifice democracy.

Correction to whoever needs it...

*NOT* to "save a buck"...

Rather, specifically to destroy what's left off US democracy. PERIOD
