Iowa State Senate Rejects Democrat-Leaning Redistricting Map
Breitbart ^ | 10/05/21 | Michael Patrick Leahy

Posted on 10/05/2021 4:45:02 PM PDT by Pining_4_TX

The rejection by the Iowa State Senate of the first redistricting map submitted by the LSA means that there will be no need for a vote on the plan by the Iowa House of Representatives, where Speaker of the House Pat Grassley, grandson of Chuck Grassley, had come under criticism from Republicans for his unwillingness to publicly reject the first LSA map, as Breitbart News reported Saturday:

Speaker of the Iowa House of Representatives Pat Grassley has not yet indicated whether he will support or oppose a redistricting plan submitted by the state’s Legislative Services Agency (LSA) that is favorable to Democrats when it comes to a vote in the Iowa House of Representatives and the Iowa State Senate on Tuesday, giving rise to some Republicans now calling him “Pelosi Pat.”

What a shocker, a Grassley being squishy. /sarc

Happy that the Iowa senate Republicans seem to know what they are doing.

It’s easy to see why it was rejected. It gives Dims three of the four seats in a state that splits 50/50.

The Dems tried to steal 3 seats in 2020, but Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate cut them off at the pass by requiring the mail-in ballot collection boxes be on county property, under surveillance.

Stopped most of the ballot harvesting that was going on in the stolen states.

Hope they don’t call Pennsylvania Republicans for advice!

Not quite.

The old map was R+2,R+4,R+5 and R+28.

This map would have went D+7, R+2, R+11 and R+33.

It wasn’t the PA GOP that drew the lines, it was the state Supreme Court.

The problem is that on the Right we have RINOs constantly lurking about waiting to stab us in the back, but Democrats march in lockstep. Like proper Alinskyites they also always try to shift their actions onto others. I saw an article of their most recent attempt, “Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand thinks we need a dedicated regulatory agency to police Facebook for misinformation”, and you can give that a look at Twitchy. Right idea wrong target. What we need is a dedicated regulatory agency to police Democrats for misinformation. And this should have never been presented to the Iowa Senate in the first place.

They still managed, on a national level, to steal the Presidency, House and Senate. YES, you don’t think those slim D advantages are real do you? There never should have been a GA runoff for those 2 Senate seats! Not to mention John James won MI, then had it taken away. This **** was massive in scale!

The DemoRats are a minority party, around 40% to 43% of the electorate.

Like number 2 Avis, they try harder [stuffing ballot boxes]...
