It seems Alabama is getting ready to ignore a court ruling in regards to drawing district maps.

Unbelievable.
From the article…
”The felony disenfranchisement measure, contained in Section 241 of Mississippi’s 1890 Constitution, permanently bars anyone from voting who was convicted of certain crimes that the 1890 framers believed were committed mostly by Black people. The disqualifying crimes from the 1890 list that are still in effect today are bribery, theft, arson, obtaining money or goods under false pretense, perjury, forgery, embezzlement and bigamy. Burglary was in the original list but was removed in 1950 by constitutional amendment. Murder and rape were added by constitutional amendment in 1968. The Harness case challenged only the eight remaining crimes in the original list and not the 1968 addition of murder and rape.

It would be interesting to what this guy consider “real” votes. Maybe only those who vote the way he wants are the “real” votes.
In any case the right sure aren’t a fan of Marc Elias and his law firm.

So not content to make it harder for some to vote the right wants to limit or stop voters for voting on amendments. By doing this the states make sure the state legislature controls what amendments are passed regardless of what the voters want.
