I just hope that when the dust settles from all this hyperpartisan redistricting, enough voters will recognize it as a problem that we can push toward banning it nationally. Dare I dream of moving to proportional representation?
Once the Republicans have locked in control, why would they ever pass that? They’ve had the option to ban gerrymandering before when it would be roughly neutral but refused. Now they’ve engineered an advantage without letting their constituents vote on it. Letting them out of that prison would demolish them.
