They're VERY upset about foot-dragging. But NO mention about how the Census bureau intentionally slow-walked the final census figures (due 12/31/20) so they could be released by the next administration (so that the figures could include illegal aliens and Democrat states wouldn't lose as much representation as expected) instead of the current one.
And NO mention about how the Biden administration intentionally delayed the release of the census figures until late 2021 to delay state legislatures from re-working the districts.
These intentional foot-draggings have already delayed the NC primary from March to May because of ever-so-slow court decisions (no doubt intentional to help Pat McCrory, etc.)
But NOW they complain that the not-going-along-with-the-scheme Republicans aren't delaying the Ohio primary date like they wanted.
NOW they are worried about the clock pressure, when they've been using it as part of their own "grand strategy" all along.
Well too bad!
Yes that is nonsense. Our conservative Justice is voting with the Dems and has shown her true colors.
BTW, no one is happy about going from Jim Jordan’s district to Marcy (40 years in Congress) Kaptur’s district. Another sh—show.
Typical double standard.
Tell the courts to pound sand. For better or worse, it is the responsibility of the legislature.
Oh please, democrats generally have been dramatically making a mockery of our laws and systems forever to “legally” get their perverted ways. As has been said, gerrymandering is only ok when they do it, ends justify the means.
Does the redistrcting matter as much as the massive voter fraud?
The Wisconsin report on ballot trafficking of 7% of the ballots, was astonishing. What was more impressive is that 7% was a nation wide number for all battleground states. The presenter put that clearly, “that means this was a mult-state coordinated event of ballot trafficking”
Combine that with Bribery, illegal voting, nursing home demented patients at 95% turnout, and “all balloting machines connected to internet” and what difference does redistributing make?
Although I like the effects of the old method where a slightly Republican state has a great majority of its representatives as Republicans, you are no longer allowed to have districts like #9 which runs across 6 counties along the edge of Lake Erie to join Toledo and Cleveland to quarantine a large number of Democrats in one district and allow more districts to have Repulican majorities.
There has been far more partisan gerrymandering right now - indeed to the extreme - on the Democrat side. These articles lamenting even minor amounts of GOP gerrymandering as shocking / abhorrent are just ... less than genuine, to put it mildly.
how about the Media-Dem Party gaming the entire 2020 election, getting illegal changes to the voting system, blocking poll watchers “due to COVID”, and mail-in ballots, etc. Now they’re complaining about republicans gaming the system.
BS
And no mention of how Democrat controlled states routinely use this tactic without any dissent from Dem-appointed courts. Here in Colorado the Dems are working furiously to gerrymandering Lauren Bobbert out of her seat.
I wish they would spend more time winning people over ideas, rather than drawing artificial lines.
Cheap one-hour presentations resembling a neighborhood block party/old fashioned tent revivals, as long as you have a good hook.
Awww the Democrats gamed the system to take over a presidential election. It’s okay.
“The time pressure is part of Republicans’ “grand strategy to run out the clock” and wind up with gerrymandered maps in their favor, said Richard Gunther....”
Somebody please ask this sniveling little partisan Democrat (”anti-gerrymandering”, my ass) how he feels about Democrats doing *exactly* the same thing in Pennsylvania.
So? That's the leftist Democrats' stock and trade. Screw them.
It is just So admirable that the Dims NEVER HAVE GAMED THE SYSTEM.
And thanks to MSM we all know how grateful we should be for letting us know.
Good! Democrats have gerrymandered without restraint in California, Illinois, New York and several other states where they can. Republicans need to do the same whenever and wherever possible. If anything, Republicans have been far too soft and have not gerrymandered anywhere near hard enough this cycle.
Exactly.
Republicans in some states should’ve anticipated the lawfare and done what OH (is now) doing and run out the clock to stop activist judges from overturning. Kavanaugh & co over at SCOTUS have basically set the precedent of the Purcell principle of not ordering a redraw when the voting periods are beginning.
NC et al should’ve probably waited to pass a map until the last minute like the Dims in NY did
