On top of that, we have an unusually shaped state. Iowa is damn near a rectangle so there aren’t geographic problems with that.


This is a shitty excuse to support racism.

The “Louisiana isn’t a perfect square so logical district lines just can’t be drawn” is the laziest excuse in this thread so far. It’s total nonsense and completely false.

I don’t want minority-majority districts, I want realistic districts.

But if the courts are going to force minority-majority districts, shape them as best you can.


TBH, I hope this results in the whole process getting thrown out because there is no realistic way to get two black majority districts that meet the criteria required.

It couldn’t be done in the mid-90s because of all the frickery to get the second district and it isn’t any better today.
