Disgusting. I didn't know it was that bad. I knew Louisiana was a total shit hole but damn.
Yes it is fucked, but think of it as another thing to add to list of things Democrats can do to solidify power once they take it. I already had on the list:
- National ID system that can't be denied by Voter ID laws
- Raising the number of house seats (excluding DC's 3 given by the constitution) from 435 to 800+
- Create a new set of areas that must pass the VRA's pre-clearance
Now I can add:
- Pass a federal law that frees anyone who was only jailed for non-violent drug use and then pass laws that protect the voting rights of anyone who was only jailed for non-violent drug use.
And we'll have the perfect cover for it with the need for drug policy reform.
