Supreme Court limits key provision of the landmark Voting Rights Act

[Rawley]

According to the courts, no, which is why we need laws passed making it illegal

14,000th time. We did. In both CA and VA. And your cult came along and made it legal again.

 

[Rawley]

SCOTUS just made it worse. Pass a law that outlaws Gerrymandering.

JFC, do we need to bring out the fricking sock puppets? It was made illegal in both CA and VA. And you cult made it legal again.

Grow a set and criticize your own cult for once in you life.

Democrats wouldn't want that.

All the Supreme Court said was that voting districts can’t be drawn based on racial lines.

That's a principle the nation has stood for since the mid 1960’s This what civil rights activists stood for back then.

If it’s illegal in California, why are they trying redraw voting districts there which nearly eliminate Republican representation?

Because for the democrats, they never have enough power.

It is telling that in a state which is 40% Republican, Democrats want to redraw voting districts to achieve 90% Democratic representation.

They did the same thing in Virginia which is nearly a 50 /50 state.

It's a states rights issue as far as drawing districts.....So now you want the feds to determine congressional districts?

That's what they did with the Voting Act provisions. Now it's gone and states under the thumb of the Act can redraw proper districts, not just those that snake around and take in every black enclave.

As much as it sucks about what happened here in Virginia I'm OK with the VASC making the final determination.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday sharply weakened a key provision of the landmark Voting Rights Act, a ruling that limits the consideration of race in drawing voting maps and could usher in Republican gains in the House.

Mighty white of them to do that.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Interesting. I think all districts should be created by independent commissions, period. Get the politics out of it.

This. So much this

 

[Zincwarrior]

This opens the door for the GOP to challenge the racial gerrymandering of democrats stopping them and allows the GOP to redistrict. Democrats just had huge loss.

Unless its a wave election.
