Even without gerrymandering: "With 98% of the statewide vote in, Trump led Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris 61% to 38% in Mississippi on Tuesday night." Here a little vomit-inducing picture of the family of Sen. Wicker adoring the head of the house. Only the little girl seems to think: FML.

So is this 61% vs 38% due to low blue turnout, possibly due to obstructive and pernicious voting laws enacted for the whole state, but only enforced in black areas? You know: few voting stations, low ballots so they run out early, forcing long lines and no free water handouts.

Not counting Tuesday as voting day from the 19th century, which now conveniently keeps the poorer people away. Still, look at "Latinos for Trump" and the incredible amount of Black men and White women who voted for The Clown. With propaganda you always get people to vote against their interest.
