No, sir, that’s not cheating. A GOP legislature drawing a majority of seats for itself is simply not cheating. It is exercising its rightful power to do so for the benefit of the majority voting preferences of its constituents. If we did it your way, and unnecessarily cede power to the opposition, we’d find ourselves in the permanent minority.

“Cheating” would be running an election and seating the loser if they were on our side.

I notice you ignored my examples of Arizona and California with its “fair and impartial” (sic) “Independent” redistricting boards.

Yes, to draw such a didtrict is cheating. And yes, California and arizona can be dead wrong too.

o you know why those states got those boards? Because they were doing this kind of crap, and people got tired of it.
