proposed Texas Congressionals

Sounds good to me. Seems like Republicans are thinking out of the old box.

California has a non partisan redistricting committee so that’s not happening there unless they change the law.

Illinois is already gerrymandered to hell. But you are right that it will lead to blue states retaliating. The problem with that is that the south is still hamstrung by federal courts in this regard. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina are still forced to gerrymander black majority districts.

If the loophole stands, it’s even more of a reason to believe this stunt is stupid.

Districts should be drawn with only population in mind, with a preference for existing administrative boundaries where possible—county, city, ward/district lines, etc.

Including ANYTHING else—race, political affiliation, etc is just asking for constant tit for tat frickery. The system is so broken. We need an amendment for mixed proportional representation in the House, and a repeal of the 17th amendment.

Would Georgetown be district 31?

Unless a federal law mandates a rigid uniform system, such as requiring congressional districts to be drawn from east to west in perfectly straight north to south lines, gerrymandering will always exist. And as long as it does, both political parties will use it to their advantage whenever they are in power. Expecting otherwise is just naïve.

Dims are going to do it if they can regardless what Tx does. Thats an old wives tale “we shouldn’t do it because then they might do it too”

Screw that, we need to do it every chance we can because the left will regardless.
