It’s interesting. Wouldn't you say the Republican party pushes for State's rights more often than the democrats?

But that’s a good question for Pence.

You mean like when Biden refused to enforce the border which was his responsibility?

None of those states would have that many blue seats, no matter how well they gerrymander, with voter ID laws.

It's time for an ammicable national divorce. However that can be arranged. Because if not, we're heading for a very ugly... let's just say, "contested," divorce.

I see what Virginia, California, and Texas are doing and I compare that to Louisiana where we give the Dems a district without a fight so the governor could punish a fellow Republican and it makes me sick.


The current governor bribed the black politicos Louisiana and got them to gin up black votes for him, based on the promise of creating that black Congressional seat. He was elected without needing a runoff because of it.

Greg Abbott and Texas started this whole new round of nonsensical redistricting.

It was a garbage idea to begin wit


No, they didn't... you fricking retard. Democrat states had already gerrymandered to the extremes. Texas was playing catch up. Eat shite.

Congress didn’t even bother trying to pass legislation at the direction of Trump, when he instructed Mike Johnson to stand down so he could pass executive orders. He didn’t want debate or compromise.


Your TDS and Republican hate is off the charts...

Redistricting would normally happen at the end of each decade, unless the state legislature flipped, which did not happen—it’s a republican super majority.

What makes all of this unusual is that it’s happening 5 years in advance of when it normally would have. That was because Trump pushed Abbott to do it. That’s what has set all of this rolling.

Before then, both parties would more less gerrymander every ten years or so.
