This whole drama about the gerrymandering of districts is so much fun, isn't it?
Texas is gonna redraw their maps and now everybody and their mom has their panties in a bunch, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, who wrote a letter to President Donald Trump demanding that he "stand down."
Very serious stuff:
The funniest part is this tweet from Newsom's office:
If you do the thing that we call cheating, then we'll do the thing that we call cheating.
Our national drama continues, and in the fashion of parody!
Texas responded today. If CA redraws, we will redraw sing the CA model gaining more than CA.
It’s a fair fight.
I don’t think they can redraw it any more blue than it already has been...
Oh, no! That will result in a single party government in Kali! Like they have now.
Does this idiot Newscum have any clue that Kalifornia Congressional districts are ALREADY gerrymandered to the maximum Democrat advantage? Every Republican district is already drawn to avoid any possibility of them picking up one of the “safe” Dem seats.
Go ahead and change them numbnuts, the Republicans will pick UP seats.
Make him call his bluff, Mr. President! He already has 43 of 52 seats in the House. If Texas gets 5 more, we will only need a couple of more States to get 2 or 3 seats if he ends with all 52 in Commiefornia.
California has a commission established by the voters to draw congressional districts. It was established to take partisan politics out of the process and any redistricting would have to be approved by the voters. Even if he decides to try and end round around the law, I don’t see how he could get this through the courts soon enough to impact the next election.
Yep. The governor of CA has no ability to carry out his threat.
The State would first have to take out the “independent” commission currently charged with drawing the lines. If Noisome thinks voters will go for that, he’s smoking something, even in California.
According to ChatGPT, the California constitution does not permit them do redistrict mid-decade.
Turn AI loose on the redistricing.
That ‘Gerrymander’ animal shape will evolve to a space alien.
CA has already cheated.
IMHO, the California Democrat majority sits atop electoral fraud. It’s a multi-decade, self-reinforcing cycle of more questionable ballots, more fraud, greater democrat control, greater democrat cronyism and democrat blocs, allowing more fraud - wash, rinse, repeat.
California has been a “leader” of things like automatic registration with drivers licenses, same day registration, unclean voter rolls, mass mail-in voting, ballot harvesting, govt union organizing ‘get out the vote’
If that all ended, California would AT LEAST be a 50/50 state.
As if it will have much of an impact beyond what they have already done.
I’d like to see AI draw the districts like an Escher drawing. Half would be shaped like fish and the adjacent districts would morph into the shape of birds.
This is strictly for their Low IQ Voter’s consumption...........
No, to clowns like this, its normal. Totally oblivious that they ensure 40% of the CA population only gets 15% reps, including ballot stuffing and cheating. (IN states like MA, its 0. 40 percent of the state gets zero representation year after year.)
“”As if it will have much of an impact beyond what they have already done.””
Right. The blue state leaders are threatening to do what they have already done and have been doing for decades. It’s asinine... and ergo, typical of their ilk.
Their state laws forbid it...same in NYS..Hochul is such an ....
