The decision is a major victory for Republicans, wiping away a measure approved by voters to allow Democrats to gain as many as four House seats in the midterms.

The Republicans are about to gerrymander all the black representatives out of the South, so it’s going to be a very uphill effort for Democrats to win a majority int he House, even if 60% of Americans vote for Democrats.

    Ignore the court order. It’s much too close to an election to change the maps last minute, and the work was already done. We’ll revisit this for the next election.

    I mean, the GOP has done this in multiple states. Fucking do it as well.

      They’re actually throwing out votes in Louisiana, but sure, because some people had cast early votes that they could change, the votes they cast in a well-publicized effort later didn’t count.
