If we had an honest and fair election today the Democrats would all be packing their bags right now.
None of them would win.

Ive been reading a few articles on this topic and its difficult to determine accurate information and learn at the same time.

Seeing how the last two census' results were during democrat regimes, they have already gerrymandered the districts--beyond minor tweaks, I don't expect to see much change.

Redistricting is legal, SCOTUS. Even if it looks like a snake.

It's a little long, but accurate.

Many contentious views imo.

The rules for redistricting vary from state to state, but all states draw new legislative and congressional maps either in the state legislature, in redistricting commissions, or through some combination of the state legislature and a redistricting commission. Though various laws and court decisions have put constraints on redistricting, many redistricting institutions continue to practice gerrymandering, which involves drawing new districts with the intention of giving a political advantage to specific groups.[1] Political parties prepare for redistricting years in advance, and partisan control of redistricting institutions can provide a party with major advantages.[2] Aside from the possibility of mid-decade redistricting,[3] the districts drawn in the 2020 redistricting cycle will remain in effect until the next round of redistricting following the 2030 United States Census.

I will check it out.

Strange but true. Gerrymandering used to be illegal but now is legal, putting the ACLU out of business.

Thats messed up, in most states the lines are drawn by politicians.
However, I dont have a solution to that problem, other than his suggestion of independent commissions.
At least he admits in the video that both parties are guilty of gerrymandering, and I wonder how many districts will end up in courts.

 

[d0gbreath]

Gerrymandering and the electoral college are as American as apple pie. If one had to go, we'd get rid of the apple pie.

That IS the solution. Another would be to use artificial intelligence to draw the districts.

Nope. Redistricting is done by state legislatures with governor, and as with the past 2 decades the Republicans rule most state gvts and the gerrymandering will once again, be in their favor, (to cheat). 3 decades in a row....

Interesting idea, to take most of the human aspect out of the equation.

A couple of articles Ive read have stated exactly that.
Thats one of the reasons Im curious how this might play out for the midterms.
So many lines being drawn between cities, rural areas, racial divisions, industries, etc..

I have several months to learn more before the midterms but articles like this one are no doubt helpful in explaining things.

I didn't see any 2024 presidential projection?
In 2022 the GOP should take the House back easily.
Looking ahead to the 2022 Senate races, here is a primer:
(5) Republicans who barely won last time:
Murkowski (AK)
Blunt (MO)
Burr (NC)
Toomy (PA) retiring
Johnson (WI)

(5) Democrats who barely won last time:
Mark Kelly (AZ)
Bennet (CO)
Warnock (GA)
Masto (NV)
Hassan (NH)

Assuming the "out" party usually wins seats, looks like the House and Senate will go GOP in 2022, unless the RNC morons screw it up <again>. Doug Collins should NEVER have been put up against Kelly Loeffler, she would have won easily.

2024 GOP Presidential nominees
Mike Pence
Ted Cruz
Mike Pompeo
Nikki Haley
Tom Cotton
Kristi Noem (VP pick)

Not Hogan, Rubio, Christie, Graham, or any Trump or "Never-Trumper"

Ive read articles saying this is going to be the biggest battle of redistricting in years and Im wondering how many cases will end up in court and be closed prior to the 2022 elections.
