The ACLU has found new evidence that the addition of if a person is a citizen on the 2020 census was nothing but a republican ploy to disenfranchise everyone who isn't republican or white. That the government lied in court about it too.
It's disgusting. The republicans can't win in an honest election so they cheat. They've been cheating for years by keeping people from voting and gerrymandering states.
This has added to the horrible divide in our nation and has to stop.
If you can't win on your platform, the answer isn't to cheat. The answer is to change your views so that people will vote for you or get more politicians in your party that have different views that will attract voters. As it is now, your platform and policies are nothing but a nightmare and sending people running from the republican party in horror.

Just weeks before the Supreme Court is expected to rule on whether the Trump administration can add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census, new evidence emerged Thursday suggesting the question was crafted specifically to give an electoral advantage to white Republicans.
The evidence was found in the files of the prominent Republican redistricting strategist Thomas Hofeller after his death in August. It reveals that Hofeller “played a significant role in orchestrating the addition of the citizenship question to the 2020 Decennial Census in order to create a structural electoral advantage for, in his own words, ‘Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites,’ ” and that Trump administration officials purposely obscured Hofeller’s role in court proceedings, lawyers for plaintiffs challenging the question wrote in a letter to U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman. Furman was one of three federal judges who ruled against the question this year.
