You are completely disregarding the amount of voter suppression that exists in Texas. Sure, the majority of folks that voted maybe wanted this, but that doesn't mean the majority of Texans agree with it. Voter apathy is a thing, but there is nuance.

Maybe you should re-read what you wrote down as the quote in the original comment and compare it to the actual quote.

Near miss can be a confusing phrase, but it means a miss where the objects (or planes here) were very near each other. With that context, a near collision wouldn't make sense as there's no way to have a collision where the objects are just near each other (as opposed to contacting each other).

I'm confused on why your math is showing it's going to cost $5.5M/year over the nearly 2 year course of the program.

E: ah you're probably just extrapolating the continued cost if it ends up being renewed another year after this.

This was a fun one to get directed to. Quite a reminder of what reddit used to be. http://amatranscripts.com/

It does when the gerrymandering leads to policies and practices that make voting more difficult.
