    My man, you are not comprehending the words that I said. If you want to stand up and defend fascism by means that is your choice. But what was being talked about here were better options.

    Let me ask you 1 question: do you believe the United States should enact the right to vote?

      He’s not “defend[ing] fascism;” he’s explaining to you how voting works. The government does actually have a legitimate need to know which Congressional district you’re in when you’re voting for your Congressional rep! That applies with the state administering elections as it does now, and it would still need to apply in your hypothetical scenario where the Federal government administered elections for Federal office.

        So you are saying the federal government draws up which congressional representative lines within the states? Last I knew that was unconstitutional and NOT happening in any state. The only instances we have seen is rejections by the federal government for racial bias when redrawing of such maps. Again, those are made by the states.
