      This is the order part of “law and order”.

      Why be ethical about campaign finance laws (committed by rich politicians), when you could be highly prejudiced against accidentally violating voter laws (committed by poorer voters)?

      They sentenced a woman to 5 years in prison for unknowingly (and unsuccessfully!!) voting when she wasn’t allowed to. Texas knows how to prosecute criminals when it chooses to. It’s just chosen not to for the white class of people.
