At the federal level, the Demonrats want to get “rid” of gerrymandering so they can institute ‘independent redistricting boards’ that inevitably draw Demonrat majority districts (see Arizona, which should have a 7R-2D delegation has a 5D-4R one thanks to an “independent board.”). Even more obscene in California where their “independent” board has all but wiped out every Republican officeholder (well, that and epic-level voter fraud).

Rodents in my state of TN — Dem gerrymandered until 2012, never complained once until the GOP finally got control decades after a majority of residents were voting GOP but still getting only a minority of seats, and now they’re saying how terrible it is that the GOP has supermajorities (which ironically were achieved under Dem lines !) and there should be an ‘independent’ board to give them back control.

Complain all you want but it could be very effective in costing the Republicans state legislatures and seats in Congress. If the Democrats are smart enough to follow that path, and indications are that they might be.

Exactly. I saw it happen.

The board was supposed to be "independent".

Who knew that "independent" was a synonym for "hard left".

The Rats stole this race when they “found” 45,000 votes in Milwaukee. In Michigan the Rats got 3 ballot proposals on the November ballot that guaranteed a high rat turnout. The Michigan GOP was too dumb too make sure all 3 were on the ballot during the August elections.

NJ is now full blue and is in the process of trying to redraw districts that will make Rats a forever majority. GOP is pretty much dead in NJ like it is in California.
