Virginia Voters Give Dems Big Win In The Gerrymandering Wars.

This law is likely unconstitutional.

I don’t know if it’s unconstitutional, it’s just immoral and tyrannical.

The new map could wipe out Republicans' gains so far in the race President Donald Trump kicked off last summer in Texas. Virginia voters on Tuesday approved Democrats’ effort to gerrymander the state, giving the party an edge in its bid to reclaim the House in November.

The new map would give Democrats the chance to flip four seats currently held by Republicans. Its adoption could put Democrats slightly ahead in the national mid-decade gerrymandering wars — a result few thought possible when President Donald Trump picked the fight by pushing Texas Republicans to redraw their map last summer.

The result is a major win for Democrats’ hopes of retaking Congress, and showed their ability to mobilize voters distrustful of partisan redistricting and push back against Trump in the Democratic-leaning state. It’s also a victory for Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger in her first national test as governor, after she faced pressure to take a more active role in the campaign’s final stretch.

I can hear it now, how unfair it was that Virginia (like California) to change their maps. Ignoring the fact that unlike Texas where Republicans without consent of voters, gerrymandered their Congressional because Trump wanted them to.

The Voters of California AND Virginia support new Congressional Maps, they voted for those maps. Never mind that the Voters of Texas did NOT give such consent. Trump started this, the Voters will end it. That is why it is called voting.

This proves the absolute necessity for the SAFE Act. This alleged vote was so close, you know full damn well cheating was involved.

Its good to see some life in the Democratic Party. Wasn’t there a 3rd state when the Demo’s did this too???

Anyway...a win for the good guys.

Yeah give the electoral votes to the majority. Better hope the Virginia governor doesn't piss the people off. Could be good for the Republicans. You loons never think of the long haul.

 

[candycorn]

California has done the same thing since the 1990s.

Link please?

Yeah give the electoral votes to the majority.

Yes...that is what we do in 48 states.

Wow...you mean the governor may lose her job? That never happens.
LOL

It’s always funny to read your clumsily assembled “serious” posts.

Florida is probably going to do the same, do away with that advantage.

You talk here as if you are the expert.
This is from an article on California gerrymandering and I lived there in the 1990s and recall for a fact they did it even then.

Republicans and Democrats wage a seemingly endless war over the state’s electoral map.

The difference is, elections are decided by voters. They’re democracy in action. The redistricting process is not. Historically controlled by state legislatures, districts were often drawn to protect incumbent officeholders. For example, in California’s 2002 elections, every single congressional incumbent cruised to victory, thanks to the district map that had been newly created the previous year.

In most states, the party controlling the legislature also controls redistricting, and the process can be used to keep that party in power, even when most voters would prefer the other guys. When the redistricting map is obviously drawn to favor a party or individual lawmaker, the process is called “gerrymandering.”

This was the situation in California until 2008, when Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger spearheaded a citizens’ initiative that ended the practice of lawmakers drawing their own districts—in effect selecting their voters. In November 2021, the California Citizens Redistricting Commission completed the process of redrawing the state’s election map for the second time.

Again, in terms of this board and all of the hilarious bullshit you and others on the right produce, I can’t help but have a superiority complex.

Every state does a 10 year redistricting based on census data. Only your blob, seeing the writing on the wall, told Texas to redistrict in 2025 which they did...thus setting off other states doing the same thing. Now you’re crying foul. Again, this doesn’t make me superior to you but your whining about someone doing the same thing to you makes you inferior to me.

You ignore the hilarious bullshit from the Democrats. It escapes your attention. What triggered you, is me
mentioning you as an expert.

I’d never call myself an expert. I’m just about 1000% more honest than you and don’t worry about whether anyone on the board likes it or not.

What whining?
You mean the president wanted Texas to change. And yes, he did. Did you complain then?
I screwed up calling you an expert. It trigged you to tell me how much more superior you are to me. And you don't know me one bit.

Your inferiority to me and rather humours positions on everything is your problem. If you don’t like it...smarten up.

Again, you don't know me at all. You are totally ignorant of my background. And you really are triggered. To keep praising yourself like you do. Just the way Trump does in fact.

yes.

I gave you credit and for it, I am per you to pay a price. And listen to you brag and brag.

Were you born an arrogant liar or did that develop after being dropped on your head?

So tell us internet tough guy, who is the “we” that should have shot the mostly peaceful protesters?

The US Marine Corps

She has some SERIOUS issues. Not wrapped tightly at all.

Extremely accurate. The worst mistake we did was not to shoot the traitors on J7.

Do you want to shoot rioters? At least with rubber bullets? I’m all for it. It will be a great deterrent.

 

[HikerGuy83]

And this cycle’s gerrymandering fight isn’t over yet. Florida GOP lawmakers could act as soon as next week to unveil a new map that could offset Democrats’ new advantage.

And here we go.
