Gerrymandering is good when they do it.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
For too many years Democrats gerrymandered while Republican states took the “high road”. I hope Republicans fight back.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Geez.
They are getting more unhinged by the minute.

Texas law allows map rewrites mid‑decade.
California law does not.

The WaPo doesn’t even understand the real issue here, or they’re just pretending to not understand in order to fire up the democrats.
I’m so sick and tired of these F’n idiots in journalism and media.

How does this idiot author not get the fact the parties are only a few seats apart is BECAUSE of gerrymandering?

There has been a gerrymandering war for 60 years. One side was fighting, and the other side was surrendering. Now side B has decided to stop surrendering, and the world is going straight to hell.
IT’S ABOUT TIME.

California has a bipartisan (supposedly), panel that takes up drawing the district maps. It is a panel that was brought about by an initiative put in by Arnold Schwartseneger and approved by the voters.

Over decades, the Democrat states have gerrymandered everything they possibly could.
They have already squeezed their state maps dry. Not possible to gain much at all.

The are the world’s best at projecting their very own behavior.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
There won’t be a gerrymandering war. The democrat states are already tapped out.

If it’s a war, it was long overdue in coming and it needs to be fought. And won.

David Daley is author of “Ratf**ked: Why Your Vote Doesn’t Count” and “Antidemocratic: Inside the Far Right’s 50-Year Plot to Control American Elections.”Hard to take this man seriously.

Democrats don’t want to do this war. They are going to lose today because they have been doing so much in the past that only few extra seats gained left. Republicans, however...

Exactly.
“We will all pay the price” is the same as “our democracy” in that it refers to them only but they make it sound like they are everyone.

The fact is I hate underhanded crap like gerrymandering.
But if the Dems are going to get away with it, we have to do it too.
To do otherwise is just being a doormat loser. Which was the case for far too long.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Explain it to us Davy. First of all, Texas didn’t start it, u aho. All the Blue states started it. Why don’t you research before you start spreading your Commie propaganda. Geez.
BTW: KMA lefty.
