Cute how the GOP is succeeding in red states to disenfranchise black voters.

Good, we need them back working the cotton fields too!

Gerrymandering at the point of legislation. It's all Republicans and conservatives have left...well, besides division pimping.

After Republicans do this for another 75 years or so, they will have caught up with the Democrats. Payback is a bitch. Shut your fucking hole.

I don't know about you. .. .but when the GOP occupies a legislative house. . . to stop proceedings, I believe, they call that, an "insurrection," don't they?



Some of the comments from CBS Miami noted. . .it was an, "INSURRECTION"

. . . I tell you, if the authoritarians in the nation didn't have double standards, they would have none at all. . .

Hey...how's that secession working out for you Texas "patriots"? You got a site up and running that I can donate to?

Republicans gerrymander because they can't win on ideas. Just division pimping.

Dems squealing like stuck pigs, love it!

And? For every Democrat one you show me, I can show you five Republican ones. While both parties do it, Republicans have taken it to an art form over the last two decades.
Here's Gym Jordan's district. Notice how it carefully avoids those..."dark" areas.

Only partisans use the word gerrymandering. . . if it were democrats doing it? You would just be calling it redistricting.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday proposed an aggressively partisan redrawing of the state's congressional boundaries that could help his party pick up four seats in the US House of Representatives this November.

Are you inferring that a black person can only be represented by a black person?

What's a dark area ??

No, the White Man's Burden to take care of childlike black people falls squarely on the shoulders of White Democrats. They take their obligation very seriously.

That's the only way they can be understood.

The 9th district of OH.....The Snake By The Lake:

Maryland's 'Praying Mantis' District

***

The first map above shows a district which Ohio Republicans created in 2011 to coral overwhelming white liberal Democrats and some black areas together so that these voters’ electoral power would be neutralized and not threaten nearby Republican voting districts. The second map is a Maryland district further gerrymandered by a Democratic majority after the 2010 census to maintain it for an incumbent Democratic Congressman who might otherwise have lost his position. At least that is my understanding of the history …

In short gerrymandering is done by both political parties for various complex reasons, reflecting both narrow party partisan and inner party factional interests. It is not usually done simply for racial purposes, though lawsuits about this issue arise often enough. Indeed, frequently black activists end up opposing Democratic Party redistributing plans where they result in diminishing black representation opportunities — often in favor of more mainstream or well-connected incumbents. In some areas it may work the other way around. There is little new under the sun.

One radical way to make gerrymandering truly irrelevant and useless in Congressional Elections, and to have fairer and more inclusive elections is proposed by the bipartisan FairVote.org group. It advocates “Ranked Choice Proportional Voting” in larger combined Congressional districts: Proportional Ranked Choice Voting - FairVote
