@optimizedfrog Tbf whenever an ideological group has become a driving base of a party its because they vote for that party in assad margins. Look at evangelicals w/ republicans after 2000 or AA w/ dems after 1960.

@optimizedfrog I mean sure that could work at the local level, but the National “parties” if you could even call them that are really just loose coalitions and adherence to the party line is a trait selected for by the voters not by apparatchiks.

@AvaErikson @WonderbeardShow @UpPodonX @gmoomaw You're right. I meant to cite § 24.2-701.1: "Absentee voting...shall be available on the forty-fifth day prior to any election and shall continue until...the Saturday immediately preceding the election.". Is it not clear here that these ballots are cast before the "election"?

[shaner @ShaneSimk]

@WonderbeardShow @UpPodonX @gmoomaw From § 24.2-701: “An application for an absentee ballot may be accepted…12 months before an election”. If an election is from the first ballot cast, how can ballots be cast before an election? Does this also mean amendments cannot be passed within 12 months of an election?

@WonderbeardShow @UpPodonX @gmoomaw The code is consistent that early voting is separate from the election. The constitution doesn’t mention early voting or provide context for a different meaning, so we must defer the code for guidance. Otherwise who’s to say that the primaries are part of an election as well.

[shaner @ShaneSimk]

@WonderbeardShow @UpPodonX @gmoomaw The relevant section says “General Election” which is defined as “an election held in the Commonwealth on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November” in the VA Code § 24.2-101

@RRcandid @WokeFDR Nowhere in that article does it say he spent 3 years litigating admissions. He doesn’t seem to be really that upset with Harvard either?

@optimizedfrog Like I went back and read the article he seemed happy with Duke and was fine (if sad) he got rejected from Harvard. Guess reading is too much for ppl these days 👴🏻

@RichHomieFlom An interesting idea I saw:

Get rid of the lottery. Instead, if a team ends the year with their own pick it drops to the end of round. This forces teams to trade their picks, and ends the incentive to tank. Teams could swap picks but tanking wouldn’t help improve their position.

@PrinceRilian123 @609ZE @CamEdwards I would say gerrymandering is the intentional drawing of districts to disempower a certain community. Now I agree that CT probably should’ve redrawn to better match the current population distrib. but that is a distinct issue from what was done in CA or IL

[shaner @ShaneSimk]

@PrinceRilian123 @609ZE @CamEdwards Connecticut’s maps was signed into law by a Republican governor in 2000, which resulted in a 3-2 R split until 2006. How does that show intent to disfranchise republicans?
