Interesting SCOTUS Case

[Billy_Kinetta]

“The high court didn’t directly say what ‘equal population’ meant, but states and localities have almost invariably used total population figures. And that population is determined by the decennial census. However, the appellants in the Texas case, Evenwel v. Abbott, argue that districts instead should be drawn to have equal numbers of eligible voters. (The case involves redistricting within states, not reapportioning congressional seats among states.)

US Supreme Court Decision Could Change Election Results Forever

The GOP in Texas wants the equal representation to be that of voters not population. That will transfer weight back to suburban and rural GOP Texas and away from urban Democratic Texas.

It would be good if districts full of felons and wet backs had less political influence.
