Twice?

Reminds me of the days when democrats were defending the right to vote for their slaves.

How much was it then? 1/3 vote per slave?

3/5

Centrists can be funny. I've always thought that a compromise between things like slavery and freedom, or free speech and censorship, would just enable the worst option. But this solution is just epic.

So, this professor thinks that white people deserve less votes than the slaves. I wonder what an abolitionist fighter from civil war era would think about this. Is this why Liberia and segregation had supporters?

The headline's rhetoric is not a good look, but the article does make a good point about how gerrymandering of electoral districts has screwed black populated areas. This article deserves a better headline.

Easy solution: draw a grid over the entire United States. Each identical 25 mile x 25 mile square gets 1 equal electoral vote. No more states, no more population adjustments. See how they like that. 😁

That makes a lot of sense. So, it'll never happen.
