    Yeah, that’s exactly what I meant and tbh I’m not sure how people didn’t get that. Also, the state of Virginia is being active here by purging these voters in the first place. Status quo bias is a real thing and the AP seems to be bending over backwards to use it to make Republicans in Virginia and on the supreme court seem more reasonable than they’re being.

      A lot of us are in a state of hypervigilance regarding conservative apologia, I think. False positives. Too keyed up, too ready to reach for the reflexive rebuke.
