Can you please explain what element in any law on the books, represents something that in any way suggests Jim Crow? Even remotely? From Wiki: Jim Crow laws were state and local laws that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States.[1] These laws were enacted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by white Southern Democrat-dominated state legislatures to disenfranchise and remove political and economic gains made by black people during the Reconstruction period.[2]. Jim Crow laws were enforced until 1965. Voter suppression by today's version of Southern Democrats is Jim Crow-ish. Today's version of voter suppression does not specify Blacks. Can't do that anymore. It uses cities as a proxy. Calling it Jim Crow might be a bit strong but it is not invalid.

As they prepare to face primary challengers, the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach then-President Donald Trump after his supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 raised significantly more money during the first quarter of 2021 than they did two years earlier. The group, leveraging the power of incumbency, also swamped their GOP primary opponents in almost every instance during the first round of fundraising since angering Mr. Trump with their votes, new Federal Election Commission filings show. While all the incumbents outraised challengers who filed campaign finance reports, it is still early in the two-year election cycle and money is just one factor in typically low-turnout primaries.
