Texas redistricting - You won't believe it

[Toddsterpatriot]

It is because Putin knew what Trump was and what he would do.

But Obama was flexible for his buddy pooty-poot.
And Hillary gave them a fucking reset button.
Why did the Dems fellate Russia since 1917?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

This is above and beyond anything anyone has previously done

Quantify your claim.

Texas got two new congressional seats due to population growth, 95% of which was non-white. Their bogus gerrymandering negates that fact. Exhibit A (or B perhaps) why we need nonpartisan committees to take care of this henceforth. MUST prevent this kind of BS.

AUSTIN — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday signed into law new political maps drawn by Republicans that cement the GOP’s grip on power for the next decade but blunt the voting strength of nonwhite voters who fueled Texas’ population surge.​

​

Critics say the redrawn congressional, legislative and State Board of Education maps do not reflect the major growth of the Hispanic community, which made up nearly half of the state’s population gain since 2020. People of color accounted for 95% of the state’s population boom over the last decade, with much of the growth concentrated in cities and suburban areas, census data show.​

​

The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund has already asked a federal court to toss out the maps, arguing the redrawn boundaries violate the federal Voting Rights Act and dilute the voting strength of Hispanic voters. The new maps are generally expected to withstand legal challenges, but battles over aspects of the boundaries could last several years.​

​

A second federal lawsuit against the maps was filed Monday, with advocacy organization Voto Latino and a group of individual voters arguing the new U.S. House boundaries dilute Latino and Black voting strength in violation of the Voting Rights Act.​

​

Because Abbott signed the redistricting plans before a Nov. 15 deadline set by state lawmakers, the primary election is slated for March 1, 2022.​

And the Democratic (excuse me, the Democrat-Socialist) Party, has redistricted in the past in order to benefit them. What's that old saying? "What's good for the goose is good for the gander."

Because it is a civil rights issue. The religious views of a few should not affect the rights of people in that state. A woman in Texas should not have to go out of state to get a abortion if that is what they decide to do.

You didn't answer the question.

Elections have consequences. Besides, Latinos don't have masters like blacks.

 

[busybee01]

I agree. Drawing "minority seats" is racist.

There is nothing wrong with drawing minority seats. The Houston area could support several black held seats but they are drawn in a way that dilutes the their population.

Obama ended up placing sanctions on Russia. Trump was forced to place more sanctions on Russia because his veto would have been overridden.

I was recently in Texas...Holy fkn mudslide.

Jesus...I was in Macy's.

It was a GD dothead convention.

Except it's racist.

Being all flexible with Putin didn't pay off?

Gerrymandering is a crime.

 

[Nostra]

It is because Putin knew what Trump was and what he would do.

What did Trump do? Shutdown an American pipeline and immediately remove sanctions that allowed Putin to finish his pipeline to Germany? Oh wait................

 

[Nostra]

When is a baby a baby? Give me a answer based on science not theology. I believe that women should be persauaded not to have a abortion. The power of the state should not be used.

Science says upon conception. Prove science wrong.

Speak not of Putin’s Puppet in such a manner!

It is not, but it and Biden's clusterfucks are going the Dems dearly. They'll be lucky to get 200 seats in the House next year.

LOL

When it's done that way it's clearly unconstitutional. They're deliberately depriving American citizens of representation.

They're "at war" with "evil".

By the way, that includes you, in case you didn't realize you were evil.

They'll do anything now. And even this isn't as bad as trying to get Trumpsters elected as Secretaries of State and state election officials so they can decertify elections they lose.

 

[Lesh]

I agree. Drawing "minority seats" is racist.

In minority heavy districts?

 

[dblack]

Hell, try opposing the welfare state. That's "ultimate evil".

I've been evil since the 70s.
