Krasnov's Big Announcement Today

A new census will be conducted and the results are going to give red states more House members.

Take this to the bank.

All of the talk about how bad Krasnov and Magats are polling, all of the talk about how Democrats are fired up to retake the House, when the talk should be about how Magats are going to cheat to keep the House.

Where are the other blue states besides California that need to draw new maps to counter the gerrymandering that Magats are doing?

Magats are rigging the election right before our eyes. Soon we will have elections just like Russia has.

Maybe GOTV will overcome a 400 mile long voting district like we will now have in Texas which counters the blue votes in Austin by extending the district 400 miles through rural Texas? Maybe gerrymandering the 2 districts in Texas that are held by Democratic Reps into one district can be explained away to me?

Article I, Section 2: This section states, "The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct".

They definitely could have spelled it out better, but it looks like as long as its before the ten year term is up the census must be done.

The government will likely shut down at the end of the month.

There will be no legislation, no funding to hire and train hundreds of thousands of temp workers and conduct an illegal census this year or next.

Despite gerrymandering, Dems have an advantage to retake the house in 2026, an advantage that will only grow as the economy worsens.

Yes, the GOP and Trump are desperate to tip the scales in their favor, but despite their efforts, they will fail.

Trump is not omnipotent, and the states and the people are not powerless.
