    What if you read it as

    Undervoting is a problem that, due to socio-economic issues, disproportionately affects people of color

    So they’re actively trying to prevent black people from being disenfranchised (if undervoting counts as such).

    However, using this as an argument to oppose ranked choice voting, instead of informing the voters better, is definitely wrong.

      You can read anything any way you want if you literally rewrite like you just did. That’s a straight up Trump-style move.

      They don’t care about disenfranchising anyone and you damn well know it. This is solely about Democrats worrying about competing against independent progressives in DC elections where they stand a very real chance of losing power if the voting system stops favoring them.
