Document Summary
Bump and run rule was fair because it impacted all teams. However, the change of rule wasn"t mutual nor neutral. It had consequences for who wins and loses. Voter id laws legislatures have been passing laws requiring all registered voters to have a photo id. If no photo on card, you couldn"t vote. Poorer people tend to favor dems, yet don"t have ids at a higher rate. Makes it so a bunch of democrats can"t vote. Is fair, but not neutral in effect: tends to disenfranchise democrats. Because the law manipulates the rules of the game , tends to lower voter turnout for minorities. Rules can be fair, but not neutral in result. Takes place within a basic consensus or community. Mary voting for herbert is political, because she"s taking place in public situation. Religion was political centuries ago because gov"t inquired into peoples" religious beliefs. Donald trump wants to make it that way again.
