The House has preliminarily approved Senate Bill 10 even though a similar Louisiana law was deemed unconstitutional. Supporters say Christianity is core to U.S. history.

I think the gerrymandering helps fuel the “my vote won’t matter” mentality that keeps people at home. I think wording like “winning by 10 points” instead of “winning with 23.6% of registered voters to Beto’s 18.8% of registered voters” also helps to fuel the apathy. Only 5% of registered voters showing up could have changed the outcome. That 10 point margin was about 1.1M out of ~8M votes cast with 7M registered voters not voting. Ten points sounds like a huge margin, but it’s considerably less impressive when you look at the raw numbers of registered voters sitting things out, not even factoring in eligible but unregistered.
