What is the issue with "One man one vote"?
Am I missing something here? Doesn't everyone get one vote? Diebold and crooked state attorneys notwithstanding.

3. As I understand it

It refers to congressional districting and the number of people in each district being nearly equal. That's what I got out of alito's ramblings.

on edit
Happy 420!

6. Well, the GOP forced a flawed census count
that undercounted inner city residents. They used the flawed census count denied representation to thousands of American citizens.

8. I haven't been tuned in today to the hearings

but I've heard many a repuke say that "being strictly constructionist" the intention of the founding fathers was "one LAND OWNER one vote", which,
when you think about BushCo's constant harping about "ownership society"... well, the dots are connecting.
