Good idea to keep the 114% voting districts to a minimum....

I thought that the Voter “Rights” Act was no longer controlling?

wasn’t the whole point of the VRA of 1965 to ensure the creation of majority-minority districts, which is what Ala. did? careful what you wish for, liberals

They’re hypocrites. They SUPPORTED these strange, snake-like districts in order to ensure guaranteed numbers of black electoral victories in those races. And NOW they them changed again?

Quite frankly, I prefer districts drawn by “citizen committees” as a good number of states have done. Tired of politicians on all sides gerrymandering. Be assured that here in CA it is HELPING the GOP with citizens in charge.

Political Parties should never, ever be in charge of re-redistricting.
