The Five U.S. States Operating as "Autocratic Democracies" Christopher Armitage Sep 17, 2025 ...Texas pairs this gerrymandering with aggressive voter suppression. Senate Bill 1 created new ID requirements, restricted mail voting, banned drive-through voting, and made it a felony for election officials to send unsolicited ballot applications. Harris County saw mail ballot rejections jump from 0.6% to 19.2%. Texas closed 750 polling locations since 2012, with Dallas County alone eliminating 74 sites in areas that are 41% Latino and 22% Black. The state has challenged 450,000 voter registrations since 2020. Ohio Republicans took a different path by simply ignoring the law. The state Supreme Court struck down Republican-drawn maps as unconstitutional. The Republicans submitted new maps. The court struck those down too. This happened five times.... cmarmitage.substack.com Only 5 states cited for now: Wisconsin, North Carolina, Texas, Ohio, and Florida ********I BTW, if anyone wants a month's worth of gift subs to this Substack (I forget what the paid tier bennies are), PM me.
