Voting rights activists, 10 years after the Massachusetts House enacted a redistricting plan that illegally diluted minority voting power

... They are already sifting through 2010 Census data, hiring cartographers and lawyers, and cajoling lawmakers to enact plans that increase the odds of minorities winning seats in the state Legislature and Congress.

These sheep don't seem to realize that the way to really dilute the voting power of any group of people is to lump them all together. This only insures the election of Sheila Jackson Lee types in electoral ghettos and insures that normal sane, sane politicians don't have to care what these people think, since their groupthink vote is a foregone conclusion.

Gerrymandered US house districts help assure a natural GOP majority, and a natural Dem minority stocked with idiots and criminals. How does a seat for life for the corrupt and insane Maxine Waters in an impotent and loony minority serve the interest of any black voter?

The Black Caucus is a bad joke, and it is the bone the Democrat Party throws to its black constituents to keep them in line. The creation of a black congressional district, and the reduction of a house seat in Mass, will cause nothing but trouble for the Dems. Wait and see.

you are EXACTLY right!

Drawing a few districts that over represent blacks means that Democrats in general are underrepresented everywhere else!

lol

I had NEVER thought of this.

Concentrating Democratic voters into a handful of districts... means it's all the easier for Republicans to take the remaining districts!

Now I am FOR racial gerrymandering! I say every state should gerrymander every liberal community into ONE giant snaking district, and leave all the rest for Republicans :P
