the Concavity Cabinet: the poisoning was deliberate and punitive — "these particular territories were chosen essentially…"
these particular territories were chosen essentially because New Hampshire and Maine didn’t let C.U.S.P. on their Independent ballots and the Mayor of Syracuse had the misfortune to sneeze on the president during a campaign swing?
Context
Sec. State says the quiet part: O.U.S. undertook "massive toxic dumping and skull-softening against local statute," and the target territories "were chosen essentially because New Hampshire and Maine didn't let C.U.S.P. on their Independent ballots" and a mayor "had the misfortune to sneeze on the president." The Reconfiguration is thus revealed as punitive gerrymander dressed as environmental crisis, with a Lincoln-analogy offered to launder it as emergency statecraft. The gift is a poisoning, and the poisoning is electoral revenge.
