IF we were a democracy I'd be worried.
Oh my. I wonder how this bit of truth slipped through the Democrat controlled media.
Massachusetts has 9 Seats in Congress.
Five of those Reps live within 10 miles of each other. When this state had 10 Seats, 6 of the Representatives lived within 10 miles of each other.
It is all crap.
Redistricting to the party’s advantage isn’t gerrymandering in and of itself. Gerrymandering is creating ridiculous illogical indefensible districts to do so.
Leftists have double standards for everything.
Don’t get too carried away. Go back & look again, it is from “ Los Angeles Daily News”
NOT the LA Times....
The LA Daily News....
LA Daily News.
I think SCOTUS ruled a few years ago the redistricting is a political function and basically said they don’t want to get involved.
Oregon is just as bad as Illinois or Maryland.
Republicans win 40% of the vote in the state, but have 20% of the House of Representatives (1 out of 5) prior to redistricting.
So now with a 6th district added, the Oregon democrats have ensured a 6 to 1 advantage. (83% to 17%)
The Oregon Supreme Court and Legislature “rubber stamped” the partisan redistricting. An outfit called the Princeton Project graded Oregon democrats “an F” for partisan redistricting.
Meanwhile progressive boneheads in the Pacific Northwest gazed down South, to bitch and complain about Southerners gerrymandering their districts to their political advantage.
The West Coast urban morons have 4 pastimes.
1) Bashing Southerners, Midwesterners, and Rural Peoples.
2) Worrying about racism.
3) Worrying about sexism.
4) Worrying about environmental destruction & climate change.
These people are beyond redemption or a “road to Damascus event” to change their perspective. Only economic pain will clarify their mindset, an economic pain that could set progressive politics back a decade, if we “play our cards correctly.”
