What happened in 1992? Something that started rolling in 1982. That was the year that a Democratic House and Republican Senate amended and renewed the Voting Rights Act, strengthening the requirements to craft majority-minority districts. Those new rules went into effect in the 1991 rounds of redistricting. In 1990, only 27 of 435 districts were majority black or Hispanic. In 1992, 51 districts become majority-minority. The result: Even though Bill Clinton won the presidency, the new districts and some scandal-based retirements gave Republicans a net gain of nine House seats.
In 2001, gerrymander gurus followed the same rules, but Republicans controlled more legislatures -- Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, etc. In 2011, plus ca change. This is the less-discussed, more-disturbing aspect of the GOP's theoretical campaign to assign electors by congressional districts. Black voters, already packed into House districts that minimize their clout, would see their clout further reduced in presidential races.

Well it was a failure.

And how were they able to do that?
Dude, don't cry when Republicans use the tactics available to them.

OK. What do you think one is to conclude from that article in regard to my post?

The Repubs didn't use the tactics that were available to them. They gerrymandered the districts far beyond what was constitutionally available to them. And then when the Dems sued to have the Repub re-districted districts declared unconstitutional, the Repub controlled Supreme Court changed the burden of proof so that even if the districts were in fact unconstitutionally drawn, it was next to impossible to meet the standard of proof required to force the districts to be re-drawn to meet constitutional standards.
But all that may be OK with you. Maybe, in your opinion, the one person -- one vote premise is just for saps.

What in the world are you talking about here? The fact that the Supreme Court found it unconstitutional for states and other entities subject to Dept. of Justice review to be held to a standard based on 1972 numbers?
And urged Congress to update those numbers that were clearly outdated?

When he takes that off at night, at least it's not the first time he's grabbed some beaver.

Damn dude, are the Democrats ever responsible for anything? That is some serious crying for a series of beat downs you are taking in elections. Pretty pathetic.
