Will they also exempt prison populations from district totals? Funny, I didnā€™t think so.

Wouldnā€™t this be unconstitutional unless SCOTUS overturned Reynolds v. Sims, i.e. ā€˜one person, one voteā€™?

Another reason never to set foot again in Missouri. Not that I actually needed another one.

Letā€™s take the GOP at their word that the added Census question is to determine voter eligibility.

And change the question to do just that.

From the nebulous, ā€œAre you a citizen?ā€

To the laser-targeted, ā€œCan you legally vote?ā€

And watch just how quickly those red states at the heart of the prison-industrial complex panic and flee.

Get someone to propose an amendment to the missouri billā€¦

Yes.

Iā€™m having a hard time imagining that people would flee their homes, leaving behind the country of their birth, sell their worldly goods to travel hundreds or thousands of miles across dangerous routes risking death and imprisonment, cross deserts and mountains, evade police, and live in fear of deportationā€¦just so they could live in Missouri.

I like the idea of encouraging people to not answer the citizenship questions. If millions do that, the results of the question are useless.

The weather is nice here. Sometimes.
