@lauren
See Blaze/Bellovin/their references.
@raft2551 Actually I saw Bellovin's not Blaze. Blaze, despite our relationship on the Net going back to the dawn of time, blocked me on Mastodon when I called him out for multiple booking for an eclipse some years ago or some such.
@raft2551 I've seen them. I stand by my analysis of the court's leaning on this matter.
@lauren I (almost) hope that they get everything they ask for, and still lose big in November. Then who will they blame their losses on? And the GOP might finally realize they've been pursuing a losing strategy and change.
But only "almost", because these things are clearly intended to block anti-Trump voters.
@agreeable_landfall The irony is that it would impact lots of MAGA voters in red states as well. That may well be the most impacted group.
