Kinda insane they're trying to change the rules for voting about 2 weeks before the election, when people have already started voting.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Makes perfect sense to someone who doesn't believe in democracy.
It's because people might vote wrong.
I wish I had that privilege where when I break the law you have to sue me instead of being able to call the cops about it.
In 2022 the Supreme Court decided in Merrill v Milligan that racially gerrymandered districts while recognized as being illegal, were allowed to be used anyways because of how close they were to an election.
When an election is close at hand, the rules of the road must be clear and settled. Late judicial tinkering with election laws can lead to disruption and to unanticipated and unfair consequences for candidates, political parties, and voters, among others.

I wonder how consistent the court will be on preserving these districts.
Funny how the Supreme Court can do this but not punish Trump during an election.
Trusting anyone to run elections in this climate with this administration and where it could go is unnerving. Of course, Blue states seem to be more above board, but maybe Fed would pull some crazy shit to “punish” states that let people excercise their right to vote.
Judging by recent events, this will go all the way to the Supreme Court where they will rule in her favor. Right? RIGHT?!
I'm not surprised that Republicans will try to cheat and do anything possible to avoid accountability (aka losing to Democrats in November as payback for how they've destroyed the country).
However, a primary is a private thing, it's not a government mandated event, so each party (which is a private entity), can do whatever they want within it.
