Gerrymandering

You guys act like gerrymandering just started this year it has been going on for decades and while not exclusively it was mainly done by the Democrats and they never had any issue with it till the Republicans decided to join the party in a more competitive way. Like with so many things political its not the act it’s self people have the problem with but who’s doing it.
 
No....
You are Not understanding.
The envelopes were marked and flagged. And not enough of the marked envelopes hit the post office for how many mail in ballots were recorded. Sure ballots in seemingly accurate envelopes were recorded and everything looked right. But they were phoney.

Big Brother was watching the whole time in VA.
Look carefully at Trump's speech patterns in his post about VA and compare it to past statements. He is holding more cards than he is claiming.
:auiqs.jpg:The Republicans played a stupid game and lost. Save your dignity and just take the ‘L’. Trump has no cards; he barely has any marbles.

Gerrymandering has been going on since 1812

What Dems have done recently thought is try to compare a state having to redistrict due to 2.5 million more citizens to the commonwealth of Va actually gerrymandering


They aren’t the same

The number of House districts is set by the census.

Any intervening population change did not change the number of representatives so is irrelevant.

Nobody changed the number of districts, but a population changes how those districts might need to be drawn to ensure even numbers across the districts, so everyone has equal representation.

Trump told Texas to redistricting to protect the hourse power.

But some people try to make a “population” as some lame poss job excuse.

Y’all ain’t fool’n a with an IQ above room temperature.

Texas was redistricting due to the 2.5 million people that fled to freedom there over the four years of xiden

Trump thought it was a great idea and supported it

Demfasict in states like Cali that people were fleeing from said they would gerrymander more

Dems that took over VA decided to defy the state constitution and gerrymander

Actually...Karl Rove literally saved the Republican party with Gerrymandering in 2010.


It was never a secret. In 2010, the conservative political strategist Karl Rove took to the Wall Street Journal and laid out a plan to win majorities in state legislatures across the country.

"He who controls redistricting can control Congress," read the subhead to Rove's column.

The plan, which its architects dubbed REDMAP for Redistricting Majority Project, hinged on the fact that states redraw their electoral maps every 10 years according to new Census data. REDMAP targeted states where just a few statehouse seats could shift the balance to Republican control in the crucial Census year of 2010.

That plan worked spectacularly. It's why today Republicans have a majority in nearly two-thirds of the country's state legislative chambers. And it's why in 2012 Democratic statehouse candidates won 51 percent of the vote in Pennsylvania, which voted for Barack Obama in the presidential election, yet those candidates ended up with only 28 percent of the seats in the legislature.

Here & Now's Robin Young learns how this happened from David Daley, editor-in-chief of Salon and the author of "Ratf**ked: The True Story Behind the Secret Plan to Steal America's Democracy."

Karl Rove:
“My best guess is that it works more for Republican advantages, because California is not going to be able to do it; I think there are some legal strictures there, and Ohio and Texas are more Republican states,” answered Rove. “But look, both parties, when they have the power to redistrict in a way that advantages the party in power in their state, they do it — whether it’s Illinois and New York for the Democrats, or Texas and Ohio for the Republicans. We may not like it, but it’s the reality of politics.”

Let’s take a look a the maps that came out of that…compare them to VA today

You clearly don't understand the underhanded logic to disenfranchise voters behind gerrymandering. When the balance of representation is shifted from 6D-5R to 10D-1R, 45% of voters in that state are disenfranchised.

Tell it to Texas. If it wasn’t for TX and Trump, MAGA wouldn’t be having this meltdown. :auiqs.jpg:
 
No..they are outvoted..something different entirely~
when better than 3/4 of the states area is disenfranchised by 1/4, that is unconstitutional. Those blue shithole cities don't have a clue as to how REAL life is. They shouldn't be able to affect ANYONE outside of those cities boundaries.
