🙌 GOP down bad y'all: MAGA’s attempt to scare white voters into voting against Pritzker didn’t work so well, to put it mildly. | joravben👇
intended to scare people like me into voting for him, arrived on Election Day, a week after I’d already voted early for someone else.while the results came in, showing Governor Pritzker was mopping the floor with Bailey, winning reelection with 54 percent of the vote, roughly the same amount he got against Bruce Rauner in 2018.and in the pro-Bailey commercials didn’t really bring out the Republican vote.
In the aftermath, there are several takeaways. One is that the southern strategy is not as effective as it once was. It’s at least not as pivotal as concerns about abortion rights. I’ll get to that. The point of gerrymandering is to use decennial census redistricting as an excuse to minimize your opponents’ power by packing the opposition into a handful of districts. Which is what Speaker Welch and his mapmakers so effectively did.The state’s three Republican congresspeople coasted to reelection. Mike Bost, Mary Miller , and Darin LaHood won with over or close to 70 percent of the vote.
As a result of Welch’s mapmaking, Illinois has one more Democrat in Congress than it had before the election, even though the state lost one overall legislative seat because of its declining population. Nixon figured out that if you scare working-class and middle-class white people with their worst fears of Black people, you can get them to vote for Republicans, even if it’s not in their best interests. And the Republicans will be free to pass tax breaks for the rich.
