Just the news ^ | 1/2/2022 | Madeleine Hubbard

At least six Democratic-leaning seats have been added to the House of Representatives so far ahead of the midterm elections this fall.

Twenty-five states have finished redrawing their congressional maps using data from the 2020 census. Analysis from FiveThirtyEight found that compared to the old maps, there are now six more Democrat-leaning seats, one fewer Republican-leaning seat, and four fewer "highly competitive seats."

Sadly, Republicans don’t politically eviscerate Democrats at every opportunity. The Left is the enemy of this country.

The Anthony Delgado Congressional seat in NY is an easy flip. Yet the NY GOP doesn't even have a viable conservative candidate - same old same old.

Somebody archive this so we will have proof about how they stole the 2022 midterms by loading down non-DemocRAT districts with illegal alien “voters”.

Add that to the Dhimmicrats ‘lock’ on the deceased vote, and they’ve locked up ‘22.

are they getting paid someway.

Are you just figuring this out now?

All Republican’s do, when they get any government position, elected or civil service, is figure out how to use that position to make money off of it. Doesn’t matter if it’s at the local level, where they get paid from local developers/builders/business owners for approvals or the relaxing of local rules/laws, so they can build houses where they shouldn’t or slam up subdivisions in places that don’t have the infrastructure in place to support it.

If it’s the state or federal level, then it’s all about campaign money, donors and the large developers and corporations that need the approvals or the tax breaks so they can slam something up, not pay taxes on any of it and pass all of those expenditures off to the locals who had ZERO input into anything. Of course, all of these projects are about increasing tax revenue, which will be squandered for more BS, or for all the jobs that are going to come, which never really show up except for a few mid level and, mostly, low level positions as most of the folks come with the company. It’s how big corporations are ruining places like Georgia, Tennessee and Texas, to name a few states.

“Yet the NY GOP doesn’t even have a viable conservative candidate - same old same old.”

You have to ask, who are the conservatives. It’s people with jobs. People with jobs don’t have the time or energy to add running for office. Also, it’s hard to break into politics as it costs money the average person doesn’t have. Now, look at who the average liberal is. The ones I know don’t have jobs. They’re people who live off the unreal economy. Trust funds, family money, connections, no-show jobs, etc. They have all the time and money to run for office. AOC got her job because a wealthy, connected group literally held a casting call. They provided everything a barmaid needed to get elected to Congress. This just doesn’t happen for conservatives, and it was offered I doubt one would accept.

The other problem is, if you run for office you’ll be stalked, threatened, followed, photographed and your children could be put in danger. Two men are dressing out in the gym. One says, “I’ve been researching my family and I can’t find any relatives beyond my parents.” The other guy says, “Run for office and media will trace your roots back to the Reformation.”

We are fighting. Look it up. Plenty of posts here about congressional districts gained by Republicans from redistricting.

Such utter fail. I am so tired of these grifter blogs run by morons that can’t process information correctly.

All these morons did was pick one line from 538’s map without processing what actually happened.

Here is what 538 actually says:

At this point, redistricting has created six more Democratic-leaning seats nationally, one fewer Republican-leaning seat and four fewer highly competitive seats. However, because many of those newly blue seats are already held by Democrats, it’s actually Republicans who have gained a handful of House seats through the redistricting process so far. Republicans have also converted light-red districts into safer seats in states like Indiana, Oklahoma and Utah.”

People need to learn how to process data and quick looking at grifters with their outrage blogs.

Electing GOP at the federal level only ensures that tyranny will come somewhat more slowly than with the communist Democrats.

We are only going to make progress in red states that stand up to the tyrannical Feds and other fascist blue states.

States need to go into nullification mode and quietly make covert agreements with other states for mutual defense.

Thank you TexasGurl. You beat me to it. It does help to read the entire story, doesn’t it? So many here don’t bother. They just react.

As far as I know they are not running anyone against Katko either. A full blown RINO.

Find the geographic center of each state, divide into quarters and that should be the redistricting lines period.

Obama is a not a natural born citizen.

He only got sworn in because the GOP also wanted the natural born citizen requirement gutted.
