The maps that are already illegal?
What pisses me off about this is states that have dem majorities should be doing the exact same shit. Let them both suck so hard the courts have to demand non-party commission to set these boundaries. Why the hell do the Dems have to fight with a hand tied behind their back?
They did do the same thing. New York’s Democrat-friendly maps were struck down by the state courts, and were redrawn, losing about 3-4 Democratic House seats. That alone could move us in theory from 212-220, to 216-216 right now.
They do, just repubs do it way way more.
Yea, I’m saying they have to at least match the bullshit. Make us all equally angry about this bullshit so we can all agree to be done with it.
Yeah, you have to actually have malice in your heart to go full republican. Dems can only muster a little self-righteous indignation.

Also known as cheating.
If redrawn by an impartial 3rd party, then, hey, go for it.
But obviously that’s not what’s happening, or going to happen.
It’s only cheating if the judges you appointed and/or bribed say it is.
A few times it went up to the Supreme court and back and they still didn’t fix it as required.
Alamabama? Missississippi?? One of those places.
Now now it’s only cheating if the side that did the cheating loses then it’s cheating.
Pretty soon they’re gonna need some level 4 plates to protect their narrow house majority
There will never be another meaningful election in the United States, ever again. It will be like Russia, the Correct Party always wins.

Gotta draw up some bull shitty districts so you can stay in power.
gerrymandering is such bull shit.
“Might”. Nah, they just actually will.
Ohio has actually been required to redraw maps for 8 years now. After the 2016 election, it was found that our maps were too heavily biased by the OH Supreme Court, and they ordered a committee to redraw it. The committee is, of course, practically only staffed by GOPers, and they so far have submitted 8 maps that I know of. At least two of them were literally the same as the map that was found illegal, and the rest of them were found to not meet criteria either. They’ve been held in contempt multiple times but DeWine and friends seem not to really want to do anything about that.
you should fix it
Tried last year. Independent commission to redraw districts but they fucked the language and our Republican led supreme court allowed it. Thus confusing everyone into not voting for it. And then they bragged about it.
Still- the people in this state are too dumb to ever do anything about it.
This ONLY Works because Republicans ALWAYS vote in Their Best Interests and NEVER EVER EVER for the Person LITERALLY CAMPAIGNING ON RUINING THEIR LIVES!
Why don’t you recount now that you’ve kicked out or scared off a bunch of the immigrants who made those numbers work for you, Texas?
