    I mean they still advocated for everyone voting in general.

    You can do that if you’re confident you can win. Which is why the gerrymandering apes could do it. But they still did it, because they knew they didn’t have to worry about the election, so they could say the right thing, even if it isn’t what they did. Because advocating for everyone voting you makes you seem confident, and the perception of the people would be “must be an honest man” instead of “oh shit they’re that confident, how have they fixed this system I know to be crooked”.

    Or that’s how I perceived this conversation of you guys.

    Tldr you’re both right essentially
