WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed California to use a new voter-approved congressional map that is favorable to Democrats in this year’s elections, rejecting a last-ditch plea from state Republicans and the Trump administration.

No justices dissented from the brief order denying the appeal without explanation, which is common on the court’s emergency docket.

    The recent bloodbaths at the polls are happening without voter intimidation, hence, they’re going to start employing it.

    Why do you think Tulsi Gabbard just raided Georgia? They want a list of the people they need to intimidate.

      without voter intimidation

      I don’t follow. Their entire campaign of aggression has been against Democrats and Democratic areas.

      It is voter intimidation, and not only did it backfire, it destroyed their own coalition. They’re losing by double digits in both red and blue districts, and I don’t see how voter intimidation works when both sides have turned on you.

      Yes, the Georgia thing looks bad now, just like all the EO’s that took weeks and months for the courts to invalidate. Checks and balances are working, they just don’t work instantaneously.
