High Level Democrats Form Group for Redistricting Reform

Politico here reports that high-level figures in the national Democratic Party have formed the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, which will work for redistricting reform. The group will sponsor statewide ballot initiatives, and also fund lawsuits. The group will have far more credibility if it attacks gerrymanders created by Democrats, as well as gerrymanders created by Republicans. Illinois is an example of a state in which Democrats have gerrymandered the U.S. House and legislative districts, and in which Democrats have fought against redistricting reform.

  1. Nonstop effort by the top Donkeys to have Donkey COMMUNIST regimes in ALL governments.

    See the rigging of the CA gerrymander commission — some of the alleged nonpartisan members were top secret Donkeys — i.e. more of the Donkey EVIL deception and deceit.
    —-
    P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.

  2. Again, you can solve gerrymandering simply by requiring all districts to be shaped as rectangles. The only exception would be when a district intersects a state’s border, then up to two sides can be irregular in shape; otherwise, every border-line is a straight line.

  3. AMc and all other folks — ALL single member district schemes are AUTOMATIC ANTI-Democracy minority rule OLIGARCHY systems [regardless of perfect squares or rectangles] —

    1/2 or less votes (as will be the case in many gerrymander districts in Nov 2016) x 1/2 [bare majority] of the rigged packed cracked gerrymander areas = 1/4 or less indirectly CONTROL = OLIGARCHY — i.e. power mad Donkeys or Elephants who have DICTATOR leaders (Speakers, Leaders) with their robot party hack control freak agendas — leftwing or rightwing.

    The armies of MORON lawyers and SCOTUS HACKS can not detect the OLIGARCHY EVIL to save the USA and Western Civilization if their MORON lives depended on the math.

    How bad will the CRISIS be on the night of 8 Nov 2016 ??? — with all the Trump ravings about rigged election results.
    See Civil WAR I started in Nov 1860-Apr 1861.

    P.R. [i.e. both majority rule and minority representation] and nonpartisan App.V.

  4. I have drafted a constitutional amendment to rewrite Section 1 of the 14th Amendment, to make its meaning narrower and clearer, and one section of my proposal is to effectively prohibit gerrymandering nationwide, for congressional districts and state legislative districts, by requiring states to use independent redistricting commissions for drawing those district maps.

  5. In Kentucky, in the last three elections, more people have voted for the Republicans in the state house than the Democrats, but more Democrats have won due to gerrymandering.

  6. The National Conference of State legislatures [NCSL] has the results of the various gerrymanders.

    Not that matters since the SCOTUS hacks have destroyed the States since 1936 so the States are now basically irrelevant.

    i.e. the gerrymander HACKS in the gerrymander Congress control whatever the SCOTUS super HACKS allow them to control.

  7. Kentucky has low income white folks in the Eastern part who live on Government programs to .The western part is probably different income wise .

  8. I can see why people don’t vote .They know who is going to win and lose .And feel the Elections afe rigged anyways in congressional races .Also the wrong Republicans get Elected.Also people vote based on race and their income levels in some districts .In well do to do district it’s a white Republican.
