If he’s says it’s rigged, it’s rigged. Meanwhile, what we should expect is a quick effort by GOP state legislatures to redistrict as many states as possible before the midterms.

This is why I can’t stand state senators like that in Maryland, who is slowing down the process in that state. I’ve heard others that are also voicing “concerns” about representation which is basically identity politics at its worst. Dems have to combat this quick. Otherwise, even yesterday’s victories will be short lived. Don’t pull defeat from thr jaws of victory next year.

Newsom seems to be one of the only democrats to understand how important this is. I have a feeling too many other democratic “leaders” would sit around and write letters to the president.
