Tighten up.
You can go back to sleep now.

You do realized the voters had a referendum on this years ago in Ohio to reject gerrymandering and make redistricting fair to both side, which the Republicans completely ignored this past year. Even their conservative state Supreme Court balked at the authoritarian turn to the party and refused to go along with the take-over. This speaks volumes. Let's just hope the US Supreme Court grows a set of balls and starts to reject the authoritarianism. But I doubt it. Not how they keep restricting voter rights.

The Ohio Supreme Court is not conservative, I would describe it as very moderate. It was conservative until the 2020 election when the makeup changed a little. You have three conservative justices and three liberal justices, with one moderate Republican who can swing either way depending on the issue.

Birds of a feather. Is this all you two have to post about? How about Slow’s latest positive accomplishment for the country? How about all that respect from the world he would garner the US? How about his knocking covid out? Or all the rapid test we are all receiving? How about just listing all of his campaign promises he has kept?????

BTW, you two morons do understand that gerrymandering is a democrat special art?

You prog filth morons do realize what will happen if gerrymandering becomes a thing of the past.

Don't you?

You can't possible be this stupid

They are always all for team over country. They cheer wildly if Republicans get stopped from gerrymandering, but remain silent when Democrats do it.

They only care about their team…..

The main point to remember in all of these threads is that neither Democrats nor Republicans are “against” gerrymandering. To the contrary, they’re completely in favor of gerrymandering that benefits their side. They’re just against gerrymandering by the other side.

The second point to remember is that the “non-partisan commission” approach recommended by lots of Democrats in recent years is a total sham, designed to add a few degrees of separation between the voters and the map-making process. It is intended to give Democrats about 90% of what they want, about 90% of the time.

With that said, I’m not that surprised and not that disappointed in the Ohio decisions. The GOP maps did go the extra mile in screwing the Democrats and it’s understandable that the courts would take notice. Let Hamilton Co. (Cincinnati + inner suburbs) have a unified district and the problem is solved.

Pope wear a funny hat?

They wouldn't be where they are today without it. Two things are undeniable truths about the left, they eventually eat their own and they have the worlds shortest memories.

Now let's do Illinois and Maryland

Fake news. Democrats are pushing a bill that would ban it outright. Republicans won't even put it to vote. Conservatives on the Supreme Court even refuse to make it unconstitutional when the issue comes before them by liberals.

More fake news. Many states, Virginia included, Dems had complete control to gerrymander, yet rather chose to set up an independent way of doing it. Name one state where Republicans chose to do it independently on their own? You can't. Even in red leaning states like Ohio where the voters shoved the Republicans face in sh*t on the issue, they STILL try to gerrymand.

Finally you acknowledge the extremism on the right when it comes to gerrymandering. Can you name an instance where Dems tried to defy the will of the voter in order to gerrymand? Hint: You can't.

And California, Oregon, and Washington state.

Everything Districting

What Redistricting Looks Like In Every State

Another issue is that the requirements for minority majority districts causes an imbalance too.

It’s so funny to watch one side ***** and complain about gerrymandering when they have been the main beneficiary of it for years.

I keep bringing up Maryland, but it's on deaf ears.

Its funny how they complain about Texas when 1990 Texas by the Dems was probably the worst of all time. Harris County (Houston) had to go from 600 to 1700 precincts to cover all the meanders of their lines.
