Topic	Should prisoners count towards redistricting?
FortuneCookie 11/12/23 1:50:10 PM #2:	Forty_Niners posted... This is another way that officials gerrymander, by putting a bunch of prisoners into districts to help pump up numbers, despite their inability to vote, not to mention actually receiving any the benefits that a member of Congress gives them. They don't benefit from anything Congress brings to a district. At least with non citizens, they still receive the benefits despite their inability to vote. If you can't vote, you shouldn't count toward then number of potential voters. This is some 3/5ths compromise bullshit. Except here, they still count as a whole person despite not having a voice in the election. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:977174980] in Should pri...
