Will the Winston-Salem City Council members who voted for the Carolina Classic Fair to be held take their families and children (“Divided council gives OK to Carolina Classic,” Sept. 21)?
Stateâs record is spotty
Cal Thomas April 26 column, âGive power back to the people,â could be used as a starting point for some productive discussion. His solution is to give more power to the states. But the record of states giving more power to the people is spotty. This would more likely give more power to elected state officials
to take power from the people by such tactics as gerrymandering, voter suppression and other voter-dilution schemes.
The enacting of HR 1, the âFor the People Act of 2021,â would be more likely to give power to the people than a lot of state actions, particularly in this redistricting year. Independent redistricting would be a great start toward reforming our election systems. HR 1 would address many other corrupt election practices.
