Gerrymandering is about to become the new 50 State norm. [View all]

Do you think ANY State is going to go back if 40+ States do it?

Might as well assign all House seats to the Party with the majority in the State house.

First Texas, then California... then Virginia then North Carolina... then GA and KS and IL and MD... etc etc...

The problem is... you can't have one state that does it the right way... with Independent Commissions... and another that stacks the deck.

So it's all going to be gerrymandered... and SCOTUS is going to be giving permission for Red States to disregard minorities in drawing lines...
