Sure Mr. Speaker...drawing districts with the locations of GOP members' houses in mind to put them in the same district to affect more than a tenth of the chambers' members was done on accident - including one district with 3 incumbent Republicans now drawn into the same district. That goes way beyond partisan gerrymandering.
Kentucky?? How does a state like Kentucky end up with a scumbag-controlled House?Lemme guess - - they have a lot of lying rats who conned people into believing they are conservatives?
could make an interesting court case. i am certain that is where this is headed, and the senate repubs ought to do the same thing util the dems withdraw or lose the court case.
Anyway, I hope the GOP-controlled Senate has the balls to tell the housemice to go play in the street.
‘Rats redistricting for their benefit is fine, GOPe doing the same is evil.
Fine, have the GOP members move into the new districts thereby preventing them from having to run against each other.
The Democratic-controlled House voted 53-46 along party lines for the measure, which now moves to the GOP-led Senate, where it faces an uncertain future.
Uncertain? What’s so difficult about R’s voting against this POS and moving on with important legislation like regulating the rate of paint drying?
Stumpy, of course, (as Attorney General) was the lead rodent thug in the coup d’etat of the Fletcher Administration (and was rewarded with the Speakership for paving the way for Beshear and the bad old rodent regime). Just like in TN, where the Dems similarly tried to reduce the majority-voting Republican strength down to 1/3rd of the seats a decade ago, it ultimately backfired, and now the Democrats can caucus in a bathroom. Republican realignment is coming, and even creative gerrymandering won’t hold it off much longer.
Well, since the folks elected Democrats they get to control the voting districts, that is what Republicans do so why complain. Winning State governments get to do the drawing.
Until they change these laws we have to live by them...
