U.S House member John Lewis died last week. He represented Georgia’s Fifth District. The Georgia primaries were held on June 9 (although the run-off primaries still haven’t been held), so the law lets the Democratic Party state executive committee choose a new Democratic nominee. See this story. That meeting will be Monday, July 20. Thanks to Thomas Jones for the link.
Both major parties treat their Congressional seats as if they were baronies. Their lords hold their seats until they die, and then the clan gets together to anoint their successors.
1/2 or less votes x 1/2 rigged stacked/cracked gerrymander districts = 1/4 or less MINORITY RULE CONTROL = baron oligarchs
— with monarch gangster bosses — aka Speakers / *leaders* = undeclared wars / insane deficits / etc.
Much much much worse before 1964 SCOTUS gerrymander cases.

PR = majority rule = REAL ***democracy***.
Any update on who submitted an application to run? I presume that the one person who challenged Lewis in this year’s primary was one of the applicants.
