The N.Y. Slimes must be slipping to allow this piece in their rag.
I think they’re trying to imply that the critics of Democrat gerrymandering are racists.
Unfortunately, Maryland is instructive. The Republicans, working with a black political group called the Fannie Lou Hamer PAC, presented a redistricting map that would have protected the ten two Republican House seats, while adding a minority seat in the Democrat areas.
Instead, the lefty politicians opted for a gerrymander just so they could take away the Republican seat in the Panhandle, while not extending the number of minority seats. And MD-3 is the most gerrymandered district in teh country, and MD-2 is ranked, I think, third.
