The democrats are finally getting a foul taste for their own game.

The overtly partisan map places some Congressional Democrats in more competitive districts to help Republicans maintain their majority in Congress.

Democrats just hate it when their tricks are used and good results ensue.

I doubt if any black demonicRATS live in the districts they "represent".

They live in neighborhoods paler than deepest, whitest Scandinavia.

Now that you mention it, I wonder what the racial makeup is of Our Miss Jazzy's neighborhood.

Granted, like Adam Schiff, she probably has several PRIMARY residences.

Despite asking you? No, due to asking you.

Either we gerrymander or we don’t. One party doesn’t just get to do it.

A congresscritter doesn’t have to live in the district s/he supposedly represents.

I was a little surprised Democrats didn’t try to protect Kinzinger’s district and eliminate someone more conservative, to try to get more Republicans to side with Democrats in the future.

A title to bring a smile to one’s face. Are there enough REAL Republicans to do this job in Texas?

Kinzinger should have been surprised since he kissed the RAT asses the whole time he was in office.

Exactly, we’re just giving Jazzy Crackpot and the rest of the demonrats a taste of their own medicine.

Now if SCOTUS also removes the racial gerrymandering that’s part of the Voting Rights Act, we may finally be free of the rest of the squawking, corrupt parody of representation constituting most of the Congressional Black Caucus as well.

This happened in Arizona a few years ago. Our Congressional Representative didn’t represent me anymore. A new one (opposing party) showed up. This happens. Crockett is an idiot, but then people have been saying that for a while.

No state can require a federal Congress(wo)man to live in the district they represent — they just have to live in the state.

“A congresscritter doesn’t have to live in the district s/he supposedly represents”.

Or do anything for them, either, apparently.

What?

True

Mad Maxine Waters’ district you mostly wouldn’t want to dare driving through

Her house is a very nice one and she never moved back into her district when it changed ment years ago.

But the district voters don’t seem to care about her, her “representation” of them, that much of her district is considered by many as perpetually undesirable or in need of significant upgrading and improvement or even as a dangerous slum, or even that she hadn’t lived in their district for a long time.

Truly, people get what they vote for. Unfortunately, she also has a say in matters primarily impacting the rest of America, too

Seems that the Republicans are being niggardly in their allocation of election seats to the underserved...

Bout time!
