Thank you @tierney for sticking to this beat. The Venn diagrams of your reporting and journalistic pursuits – 2020 Census ratfuckery, Voter Disenfranchisement, Voting Rights, Pandemic Vote By Mail/Absentee, etc. – they are all clearly a nexus with representative democracy itself at the center of it. Proud to be a supporting member of TPM.
