Has a prez ever openly asked a state party to cheat?

[The Duke]

We're still waiting for the evidence.

It's there, you just have to take the blinders off, or lift the scales from your eyes.
I'll delve a little bit deeper into that.
God only allows you to see what he wants at any given time.
If God says it's not the right time to see that bolt or Cotter pin or whatever you want, you're not going to unless he decides it's time for you to.
Me and my friend talked about this earlier, it's a real thing.
It's a fact of life. An indisputable one.

LOL. Thanks for the laugh. That's a good one! Brought to you by the cheating party of America -democrats.

Texas Republican Redistricting Chair Admits He Hasn’t Looked at Census Data​

At the request of President Donald Trump, Republicans are working to squeeze out as many as five more GOP seats from the Texas congressional map, as Democrats rally opposition to the scheme and search out opportunities to derail it.

A Texas House hearing in Houston over the weekend drew such high attendance from residents opposing the rare mid-decade redistricting that the committee ran out of its 750 speaker signup forms and had to print more.

Asked whether he was aware that most of the state’s population growth over the past decade has come from communities of color, Rep. Cody Vasut (R), chair of the House redistricting committee, admitted he wasn’t.

“I don’t have that census data in front of me,” Vasut said. ”I haven’t looked at it.”

If Dems had their way district maps would be drawn by bipartisan commissions. Repubs want to keep cheating because they would lose Congress in a fair election.

Republicans released their proposed Texas congressional map Wednesday, delivering on a request from the White House that could set off a nationwide redistricting battle between red states and blue states over control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm election.

Nice try, buttkis, we already know mass quantities of democrats are now fleeing the state hoping to skew the redistricting results only to return once the matter is settled.

Political shenanigans are one reason I have desire for non-partisan elections.

The dems invented gerrymandering you fool.

 

[scruffy]

When Dem's spoke of what would become of democracy during the 2024 campaign they were scoffed at by The Following. Now that the most dire predictions have come to fruition, and worse, MAGAist's proudly exclaim "I love what Dear Leader is doing." Revealing it was their desire all along to see the country be torn apart.

You're nuts. Or you're living on a different planet. Or both.

Lefties should deal with their 19% approval rating before digging the hole any deeper.

Stupid leftards haven't learned a damn thing from their 2024 ass whippin'

 

[Zincwarrior]

That isn't "whataboutism", it's calling "independent" districting commissions a sham.

Its pute whataboutism. Tell us your opinion on this in Texas, purely and openly to adf Republican seats.

It's how the game is played. If Texas law allows it, what's the problem?

Cali made a law preventing this via a referendum.

 

[martybegan]

This.

Sorry, but "bipartisan" is impossible when so much power is on the line. "Bipartisan" means "Dems can rig it as always while pretending they aren't"

 

[Mac1958]

This.

It looks like this "administration" is going to just push everything, everywhere, and bring it down to the courts. If the courts let them get away with something, they'll do it. If it doesn't it may not matter.

They think they're at war. They're going to do whatever they think it takes, and the flock -- desperate, miserable and hopeless -- will enable them, run interference for them, attack for them, and deny it all.

You are just mad that the opposition is finally using all the legal tools available to them and actually wants to fight the fight, as opposed to the "loyal submissive opposition" we used to see from all Republicans.

 

[Frankenstein]

It's allowed under the law.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Ah! Yes, it's cool when they do it then they whine and moan when they can't

We are at war a war, for the soul of America, we either go full Democrat socialism, or remain the greatest country on Earth. Problem is, when you guys had power you pushed too hard, too soon, incrementalism was kind of working, when you pushed too hard too soon we saw it for what it was, the degradation of America for concentrated democrat political power

Yep you do and you hate us because we stand in the way of the complete takeover of our country by Democratic Socialists, that in itself being a necessary stepping stone to communism!

Republicans released their proposed Texas congressional map Wednesday, delivering on a request from the White House that could set off a nationwide redistricting battle between red states and blue states over control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm election.

The proposed map can be found here. It could add 5 new Republican congressional seats, according to Texas political observers.

The Houston area is drastically redrawn, with most of the change falling on District 9, the seat held by Rep. Al Green (D), and District 18, the seat that has been open since Rep. Sylvester Turner (D) died in March. If passed, the map could go into effect immediately, throwing the competitive November election to fill the District 18 seat into chaos.

Dem's put a measure in HR1 requiring independent redistricting commissions to create fair boundaries. Naturally, Repubs blocked its passage.

Five Ways H.R. 1 Would Transform Redistricting​

Congressional redistricting is broken. In most states, districts are drawn by partisan lawmakers, and the manipulation of district boundaries for partisan or other discriminatory purposes is rife, with communities of color being amongst the hardest hit. While courts can provide a remedy, litigation is often slow and costly. This allows discriminatory maps to sometimes remain in place for years while court cases and the inevitable appeals run their course. But H.R. 1, the broad and historic democracy reform bill passed by the House in March, offers some smart, comprehensive ideas that would make the redistricting process fairer and more transparent.
All states would be required to use independent commissions

I'm not sure there is another issue where the question of what is right and what is wrong is more clearly defined. Independent redistricting commissions favored by Dem's would thwart what is going on in TX right now. It would also make the response by Dem's unnecessary. They would enhance democracy. Which is why Repubs oppose them.

Nope, just this one.

Not having any checks on presidential power is going to be our ruin as a nation one day if it hasn’t happened already.

Yawn. Like I said. Anything a republican can get done is considered ok by the right wing morons like this guy. I am looking forward to a packed Supreme Court of 99 justices next time a Democrat wins the office. It IS legal.

LOL, cheat, steal, drag Dems into the street and beat the crap out of them whatever it takes to defeat the great Dem evil. Got it?
