Mini rant: Every time an organisation says it's going to hire more diverse staff, someone replies "but surely you should hire the best candidates regardless of background!" And every time, what they think is a counterpoint is actually an argument *for* a diverse hiring policy.

I’m Ben Chou, the person who created drive thru voting in Texas — causing Republicans to lose their minds and pass a bill outlawing drive thru voting. Now I’m running for office in Texas to flip a seat blue. Can you RT and help me fight back against voter suppression?
