Gerrymandering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Interesting political experiment.

​

When the thing that's needed to hold power in a democracy is a government of the extremists, for the extremists and by the extremists.

Gerrymandering has been ruled unconstitutional in a court of law?!?

Do you think we'd get consensus on ending the practice?

The VRA mandates gerrymandering, and was upheld by the Supreme court. Maybe you should stop blaming the other side for things you support.

That and voter suppression is going to guarantee the worst of our congress a permanent place at the trough. They get 2/3rds of the year off, a paid vacation. We pay for their health care insurance even while they try to stop us from being able to buy at the same lower rate. Their other benefits are nothing short of obscene.

They steal from the poor and give to the rich and the god damned fucking gullible right wing voter has made it impossible to ever fire the most useless of them. The right wing voter is owned, lock, stock and barrel by the Koch's. Fox, Beck, Limbaugh and other shills tell them what to think.

I've noticed that the very phrases used by them will show up here and then, later, I'll hear that phrase spoken by one of the rw shills when its used as proof of just how corrupt the right is.

We're stuck with this corrupt government. We're stuck with Boehner/Cantor/Ryan and the rest of the thieves. But, that should not stop us from voting against them. We must vote to get our country back.

On the news, I'm hearing that the few real pubs left in congress won't vote honestly because they're afraid the tee potters will win primaries.

I suspect that fox et al will be telling the rw's not to vote in favor of getting rid of the blatant corruption. Watch for it. Limbaugh, Beck and the rest of the rw worms will be telling you how to vote and it won't be in favor of returning to honest elections.

Our elections will forever more be bought and paid for by such as the Koch bros.

When the radical left agrees that all Americans are equal regardless of their skin color it will pretty much end the Gerrymandering system.

Dude... Gerrymandering may be an accusation both parties can wear with weird American Political Pride, but Republicans made it an art form.

Proof?

About 1.5 million more votes were cast for democratic house candidates last election than for republicans, and yet the republicans control the house.

Which explains why California, which is not only dominated by Democrats, but actually has a citizens committee that draws the maps, doesn't have any gerrymandering.

Either that, or you are a drooling idiot.

Gerrymander Math!

Illinois 17 is considered a textbook example of gerrymandering taken to the extreme, it wasn't designed by, or for, Republicans.

Congress has a 19% approval rating and yet 90% get reelected. Gerrymandering works. It's corruption behind open doors.

Ooooo you found a GREAT example of Democrat Gerrymandering...

So fucking what? Doesn't mean Gerrymandering shouldn't be eliminated from the political vocabulary and it doesn't absolve the state-level Republicans and Democrats of their responsibility for the low approval ratings in Congress and the current extremist-driven mess we're in.

Gerrymandering should be unconstitutional, it violates the principles of a Republic/Democracy

Not by the acronym out of the blue like that.

If you'd be so kind, could you point out the paragraph where the Voting Rights Act 'mandates' Gerrymandering? I couldn't find it in the link you provided.
