After Alabama was ordered to redraw their Congressional maps, Republicans are facing potential loss of some seats in the House.
There really needs to be independent nonpartisan redistricting across the country.
How does that actually work in practice? Its a good model to strive for, but impossible to do in reality.
Schwarzenegger is working state-by-state to end gerrymandering.
Agreed. But before that can happen blue states need to continue gerrymandering as hard as possible to counterbalance red states.
“Although the majority’s decision is disappointing, this case is not over."
Is it just me, or does that sound rather menacing?
The highest court in the country finds the districting lines were intentionally racist and need to be redrawn, and the response is “the fight is not over?”
Yeah, they’re getting increasingly brazen with their rhetoric.
Looks like 5 seats could end up becoming Democratic, which would mean an even split of 217 seats each.
Good, gerrymandering has been a problem for years. I remember talking about it in my GIS classes during college. Unfortunately its very with modern GIS software. GIS and Gerrymandering.. Glad to see the supreme court starting to take some action on it.
Good.
Hope they lose all of them
