Was there ever any doubt that this CHUD wasn't going to come back?

"All on the Line's" website, "Redistricting U" will be “sending dedicated trainers to cities across the country to train volunteers, give them the tools to impact the redistricting process in their state, hear from them on how to best make change in their communities, and empower them to be leaders in the movement for fair maps.”
I'm quite confident that jugears et al and my definition of the word "fair" are diametrically opposed.

The thing is on one hand you hand Democrats denouncing the electoral college while pushing for districts minority majority at same time.

I was thinking about gerrymandering this am. If St. George happens, will whites be able to gerrymander to gain back some districts lost?

You can gerrymander a district for the opposition in order to guarantee several surrounding districts for yourself, and it is no less gerrymandered than the district you created for yourself.

Who created the district formations as they currently sit? Who runs these districts?

So the GOP gerrymandered these districts on purpose, to give the Democrats their own district to shut them up? Posted on 8/27/19 at 9:27 am to AggieHank86
I'm sure [link=(he's also concerned about gerrymandering in MD)]https://www.thedailybeast.com/democrats-hate-gerrymanderingexcept-when-they-get-to-do-it[/link], PA, NY, and CA.

The answer to your question is “yes, but not to shut them up.”. You do it to remove opposition voters from surrounding Districts.
As the party in power, would you prefer four competitive Districts, or three safe Districts for your party and one safe District for the opposition?

jesus, people will downvote you for anything.
You're 100% correct, of course.
Gerrymandering is a bipartisan problem.

And this only happens from the GOP side, right? The GOP is allowing these gerrymandered districts for the greater good of the party? Your logic is flawed. quote:

I'd prefer common sense districting that doesn't snake its way in and out of a district.

You're being downvoted because you're a historically bad poster. You saying "watch me get downvoted no matter what i say" should be confirmation bias for yourself, that your posts aren't very good.

Your bias is astounding.
