One more subversion of 14 Amdt, Sec. 2 ???
Ongoing PERVERSION of the 1st Amdt regarding *election* mechanicc — voters, ballots, voting, vote counting, etc.
see the book —
Sources of our Liberties ed by Richard l. Perry (Am Bar Assn, 1959) —
just before SCOTUS went *politically correct* N-U-T-S in the 1960s.
ZERO mention about the 1st Amdt having ANY thing to do with such election mechanics
— totally separate from election advertising/press, election speeches, election assemblies.

By treating the process of having rights restored to serve partisan outcomes like the examples Judge Walker included Gov Scott left his operation vulnerable to a legal challenge other politicians would have shored up to avoid total condemnation. It’s called hubris, and a total estrangement from justice.
