Reason:

Just a precaution to circumvent any potential troll vote-bombs by sock accounts for Pro.

Not naming names, but you know who you are. Me, Public-Choice, and Novice do too.

Reason:

Con argues that African-Americans are more likely to be given high sentences or convicted of drug use and sexual violence, and that terrorism against Black people goes unprosecuted in the United States. Although Con doesn’t explain why this debate has to be set in the United States (the resolution doesn’t specify this), nor do they do much work in tying these disparities to racism in the justice system (although I personally agree with Con), Pro forfeits, so I have to vote Con.
