Newly released documents found on the hard drive of a dead Republican strategist by his progressive daughter suggest the desire to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census is motivated, at least in part, because it “would be advantageous to Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites.”

The Supreme Court is expected to rule in the coming weeks on the Trump administration’s decision to add a citizenship question to the upcoming census, after 18 states challenged its legality. Those states, along with a collection of cities and counties, argue that asking a citizenship question will deter noncitizens from completing it and result in an inaccurate census, which has a huge impact on where budgets are allocated and the mapping of political districts.

The Trump administration argues that the citizenship question will help the Department of Justice enforce the Voting Rights Act. But opponents say newly unearthed evidence shows that Trump officials “falsely testified” to obscure the real reason for wanting a citizenship question: to help the Republican Party.

Newly released documents from the estate of Thomas Hofeller, a Republican consultant known for gerrymandering maps that ensured the GOP took control of the House in 2010, show Hofeller helped orchestrate the citizenship question “to create a structural electoral advantage” for Republicans and white people, according to the documents filed in federal court in New York.

Ratfucked : the true story behind the secret plan to steal America's democracy by David Daley is an excellent book that goes into great detail about him and other Rethug scum like Rove, etc.

The explosive account of how Republican legislators and political operatives fundamentally rigged our American democracy through redistricting. With Barack Obama's historic election in 2008, pundits proclaimed the Republicans as dead as the Whigs of yesteryear. Yet even as Democrats swooned, a small cadre of Republican operatives, including Karl Rove, Ed Gillespie, and Chris Jankowski began plotting their comeback with a simple yet ingenious plan. These men had devised a way to take a tradition of dirty tricks?known to political insiders as "ratfucking" to a whole new, unprecedented level. Flooding state races with a gold rush of dark money made possible by Citizens United, the Republicans reshaped state legislatures, where the power to redistrict is held. Reconstructing this never- told-before story, David Daley examines the far-reaching effects of this so-called REDMAP program, which has radically altered America's electoral map and created a firewall in the House, insulating the party and its wealthy donors from popular democracy. Ratfucked pulls back the curtain on one of the greatest heists in American political history.

12. Watergate, Iran Contragate, Death Squads in Central America, Valerie Plame Exposed

But, BUT! BUT!!! Bill Clinton got a BJ! Hillary sleeps with Russians!! And Obama (cleanest Administration in generations and investigated endlessly)! Fast and Furious! Benghazi!!!

Rat F'ers like Cheney and Barr have been around and covering and creating R's crimes up forever.

There are three types of Republicans:

1) High Rollers who fund and control as much as they can steal or buy, including Gerrymandering and voter suppression, to keeping turds like McConnell in power. They are all for the 1% and world-wide Neo-Liberalism.

2) The Paid Wackadoodles staffers who hate all things Left. They happily lie and destroy normalcy whether it be gas-lighting on Fox to storming recounts (Gore-Florida).

3) The misinformed, uniformed true believering Rubes who are mostly male Patriarchal/Authoritarian followers who believe that the Left and non-whites are going to eat them alive.

5. Republican motives are always clandestine.

Always, without fail.

As Democrats from the country would say......

any Rethug policy statement is like a fresh cow pie with chocolate icing......

6. I always suspected this was the naked motive. Certainly nice to have it in writing. nt

in the first place.

10. After reading I said to myself "we need a few more of those GOP hacks to die off..."

you know, so we can find out what they've lied about over the years.

11. I figured his daughter cared about more than the GOP party line when she alerted the Dems or whoever

Good girl!
