      Some, yes. Others who are super disenfranchised, I kind of get it.

      I ran into some pretty fucked up stories when I worked in Alabama for several years. Outside of Birmingham I’d hear stories from black voters about limited polling places, that were super far away, were hard to hit up during work hours, and had good ‘ol boys intimidating anyone that wasn’t white.

      And if folks did tough it out, they were gerrymandering to high hell, so the vote was designed to go nowhere.
