Tons of reasons people can be against it.
“Doesn’t affect me.”
“Makes my vote count for less.”
“Helps the democrats.”
Etc. It’s not really a national talking point as much as it should be. We have people that are citizens that don’t have representation. That sucks.
My one critique of this is I’m afraid that, with current voter ID laws in key States, if we make this about whether or not we’re a White Nationalist country, the electorate will say we are one.
EDIT: Also this.
This is what Delaware is replacing its voting machines with. You make the selections on the touch screen, it prints the ballot which then slides into the clears area on the right side. This allows you to verify your ballot, once approved it moves the ballot into a container underneath. If they have to do a recount they use the physical ballots in the bottom. (Acces to the bottom container is highly regulated.)
First amendment is not enough to protect journalism.

If I was a slimy as rep I would be saying to myself, “wow, looks like a lot of sites that run offbrand content will advertise for cheap when I’m the only one offering them ads to run”
She will face independent Ed Ackerley in the November general election. No Republicans are running.
Never thought I’d hear that about Tucson.
This is no surprise at all. It’s a city. Nothing I know of correlates more strongly with red vs. blue than population density.

Even in the reddest of red states, the cities are blue. Even in the bluest states, the areas outside cities are red.
it’s not surprising that people in a city vote blue. It’s surprising that the Republicans aren’t even showing up with a candidate in that area. I figured in a city like that which I associate as a town with lots of military influence, old school tech and mfg business, guns and drag racing and dune buggy racing and aviation and other classic republican-approved type activities all around, you’d have at least some Republican candidate step up to the plate even if they were not going to win.
There’s no point. It’s a waste of money. Republicans can’t win national office from real cities. Their sole base of power is rural areas coupled with the minimum number of “purple” districts necessary for a coalition.
It’s the same reason Democrats will only put up candidates in districts that have at least some chance in, or as a test for future elections.
The difference is that most Americans are either Democrats or end up voting for Democrats (or are sympathetic to Democrats but don’t vote). We outnumber them everywhere except the reddest most rural places without gerrymandering.
Without gerrymandering…
