After being introduced by the host, Naresh Vissa, Vissa asked Cindy about what she had done for Hindu Americans, and Cindy responded that she had hired Umesh Sanjanwala as her chief aide when she became MS agriculture commissioner.
Cindy is correct that Mike is outraising her (though to win, Mike needs enough funds for a GOTV operation to reach MS Democratic voters who became inactive voters since 2008 and to improve his margin of white voters by a hair). 2/
THREAD—Three GOP 5th Circuit judges revived a TX lawsuit for an order requiring voters to wear masks.
The 5th Circuit has jurisdiction over MS as well as TX, and its implicit holding that states can require voters to wear masks rebukes @MississippiSOS. 1/ foxnews.com/politics/coron…
The TX lawsuit sought many items of relief, all of which the district court and 5th Circuit rejected EXCEPT for the plaintiffs' claim under the Voting Rights Act for a mask mandate at polling places.
The VRA claim is that failure to mandate masks unduly burdens Texans' of color right to vote because it unduly exposes voters to COVID-19, a disease that disproportionately affects people of color. 3/
