Republicans Losing Redistricting Battle to Aggressive Democrats

quote:

---

But in multiple red states, Republicans have not drawn Republican-favoring district maps. In blue states, however, Democrats have been very aggressive.

---

It's 2022... we should be able to let a computer draw lines with no political motivations.

But this is something where if the Dems are going to do this, and if we can't stop them... then we need to do the same damn thing where we can.

But then again... too many GOPers WANT to be in the minority party.

Breitbart left out the state of Washington, who fricked it up so much that the left-wing state supreme court had to admonish the committee.

failed to draw strong lines in Missouri,

Eh. We’ve quarantined the Democrats to two house seats. One in Kansas City. One in St. Louis. Not sure there’s more to do than that.

They are too afraid of being called RACISTS and GERRYMANDERS by the media.

Democrats play to win.

Republicans Losing Redistricting Battle to Aggressive Democrats

---

Misleading clickbait.

quote:

---

With Republican state legislatures in control of reshaping 187 districts while Democrats only control 75, Republican legislatures had an opportunity to wreak havoc on Democrat-leaning districts, splitting them up with district lines that benefit Republican candidates.

---

State law prevents this in alot of circumstances.

quote:

---

The reports have indicated Democrat legislatures are aggressively drawing lines in states such as Illinois, New Mexico, Oregon, Maryland, California, New Jersey, Nevada, and likely New York,

---

Illinois and Oregon are the only two that would been considered "aggressive" to an objective observer. Some of those are also drawn by independent commissions--not sure what you wanted the GOP to do in those instances.

The GOP has done pretty well for itself in NC, aligning 11 of the 14 districts to be GOP-held, as well as Texas where it solidified most of those purple leaning seats. The GOP also drew a favorable new map in AZ

quote:

---

while Republican legislatures have failed to draw strong lines in Missouri, Indiana, and Georgia.

---

Missouri does not have a new map yet. Georgia's is an improvement over the current map and should result in the GOP gaining an additional seat. What exactly did you want from Indiana--them to totally remove the blue districts somehow? It is also an improvement for the GOP, as it moved a tossup district into the red column north of Indy.

OP, point to a state specifically where the GOP has failed to redistrict according to your liking? The ones listed in the article ain't it.

Also, for those who would like to try their hand at drawing districts, the below link is pretty cool. You can draw the districts in every state at the voting precinct level, and there are data layers to mess around with for demographic and past electoral information.
Hone your own skills at gerrymandering
For most (not all) states, once you are done you can view the partisan/election breakdown of your new districts.

That’s what the controlled opposition does...
