The democrats gerrymand here just as much. Whenever they have been in power when redistricting is slated for review they do the exact same thing and we end up with weird lines favoring them.
That’s how redistricting has always worked. You can make a case against it, but to get away from it you’d have to have some sort of bipartisan commission or goobermint employees draw the lines, and then they’d always favor Dems and the Pubsters would wail in public but bend over in reality like always. At least this way is fair, so to speak. Whoever gets elected gets to do the gerrymandering. At least the case can be made that it’s the voters will being honored. Which means this is yet another plot by leftists to defy and disenfranchise the electorate, as usual.
What business is it of the courts to tell legislatures what to do with their enumerated powers? These courts are begging people to ignore them.
Maryland and Illinois look well gerrymandered.
Gerrymandering by both parties is pure corruption. Voting districts and postal zip codes should be identical.
Most major cities play games with the city boundary to cement in democrat rule. Republicans should make the case if they lose for congressional districts then the same concept should apply to city lines.
They are trying to screw us in 2020...new census, another chance to redistrict...
The GOP should chlenge the gerrymandering in Blue states.
Hil-arious!
Democrats STARTED this process (in New Jersey, if memory serves) and in the years it doesn’t go their way, they whine and scream and cry and...take it to court!
Same old, same old.
This particular case is for a Repub example, but the rats, specially minority rats, benefit from gerrymandering more than the pubs do. If they can no longer make octopus shaped minority majority districts, the law of unintended consequences will strike again.
They should look at how the lines are drawn in NYC!
The Democrats need to be careful for what they wish for.
How come Wisconsin’d districts get tossed, but the suit against Maryland’s most partisan gerrymander in the nation (look especially at Md-3 and Md-2) got thrown out?
