Opposing simple election integrity measures like voter ID is counterproductive because it fuels public suspicion. This behavior makes the party appear as though it has something to hide, undermining trust regardless of the actual intent.

A common assumption is that a neutral process is inherently fair. However, due to natural population clustering (e.g., Democrats in cities), a randomly drawn map can still heavily favor one party. Achieving fairness may require intentional design to counteract geographic disadvantages, not just the absence of malicious intent.

While socially problematic, residential clustering of minority groups is politically advantageous. Uniformly distributed minorities risk getting 0% of seats even with significant voter share, as they can't form a majority in any single district. Clustering allows them to secure representation by creating districts they can win.

States can increase congressional representation and electoral votes by boosting population counts for the census. This creates an incentive to attract residents, including illegal immigrants, and fund their needs by leveraging federal assistance programs, often through fraudulent means, effectively offloading the cost of gaining political power.

Because the census counts all residents regardless of legal status, blue states experiencing population decline due to citizen out-migration can maintain their congressional seats and electoral votes. This creates a powerful political incentive for Democrats to resist mass deportations, as it directly impacts their national power base.

Politicians are fundamentally incapable of drawing fair electoral boundaries due to an inherent conflict of interest: they want to ensure their party wins. Using a randomly sampled citizens' commission, as Michigan did, removes this conflict. This allows ordinary people, guided by a sense of fairness, to create equitable maps where politicians and courts have failed.

America intentionally avoided solving illegal immigration because it serves a crucial economic purpose: providing a flexible, cheap labor force that doesn't draw on social safety nets. This benefits industries and consumers while placing little burden on the state.

States are legally required to offer voter registration alongside welfare programs like Medicaid. This creates a political incentive to maximize enrollment, which can lead to lax oversight and a reluctance to investigate or prosecute fraud.

Prior to the 1986 amnesty that granted citizenship to nearly 3 million immigrants, California voted Republican in 9 of 10 presidential elections. Since that policy change, the state has not voted Republican once in almost 40 years, serving as a powerful case study for how immigration policy can permanently shift the electoral map.
