Gerrymandering is the process of changing congressional maps to ensure one party’s victory over another.

Seems like Gerrymandering to me.

17% Representation in the House, yet 45% voted for Trump.

Democrats have 83% of the House seats for Illinois, but 55% voted for Kamala.

A fair representation of the people of Illinois would be 8 Republican and 9 Democrat. I would even go 7 Republican and 10 Democrat.

Democrats have been Gerrymandering for 213 years. It was invented by Elbridge Gerry, VICE PRESIDENT OF JAMES MADISON.

Democrats have already squeezed out all they can in blue states from Gerrymandering.

2.5 million people voted for Trump in Illinois. 3 million for Kamala. 14/3 is not a reasonable split.

If Illinois does more Gerrymandering, maybe they can get it to 17-0 Democrat.

No wonder the Texas outcasts ran to the rigged state of Illinois. They wanna learn how to cheat better.

If Republicans play this right, they can peel the layers of onions to show what Progressives do to attain and keep power. Perhaps Republicans just from the 2024 election should have a dozen more seats from common sense redistricting plus more from Progressive cheating. This is why they act like they do. They know the game is rigged for them.

Dems have been Gerrymandering since 1812.

It is HILARIOUS to see the mock outrage from the left about GERRYMANDERING!



Such ******* frauds….all day….every day.

 

[IM2]

Stop crying. You guys started this when Tom DeLy cut up districts to give Republicans an advantage. Further, this is about mid-decade redistricting, which has not been done.

It is hardly news that both sides do it. It is still undemocratic and should be banned by Federal law.

Yes, but the Dems are acting like it has never happened prior to Texas this week.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Where can Dems squeeze out more blue seats in Blue states?

Are they going to make Illinois 16-1 Democrat, even though 45% of the voters voted for Trump?

Is that a Representative government?

And replaced with what?

"Bipartisan commissions" that are anything but?

Anything would be an improvement but I'm sure some rules can be agreed upon that would govern how redistricting would take place. AI might be the best choice to follow the rules in an impartial manner.

 

[alang1216]

News flash, 'Dems' are by definition, politicians. Blame Trump for any uproar. If he hadn't gone public with his request for 5 additional seats, no one would have cried.

LOL, and then the gerrymandering would be hidden behind some false "bipartisan fair" bullshit.

Both the rules and the results would be public. Nothing would be hidden.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Both sides have been doing it for ******* CENTURIES.

Get FUCKED, lefties.

If you believe that would work I got a nice stone bridge in Brooklyn to sell ya.

 

[Blaster]

Gerrymandering is okay unless Republicans do it.

It's only gerrymandering when Republicans do it, even when democrats invented it in the first place.

LOL states already have laws about how to set up districts. they just ignore them.
