U.S. District Court Strikes Down Some Michigan Congressional and Legislative Districts as a Partisan Gerrymander

On April 25, a 3-judge U.S. District Court struck down some of Michigan’s U.S. House and legislative districts, because they were part of an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander by Republican legislators.  Here is the 146-page decision in League of Women Voters v Benson, e.d., 2:17cv-14148.

The decision is by Judge Eric Clay, a Clinton appointee.  It is also signed by Judge Denise Hood, a Clinton appointee; and Gordon Qust, a Bush Sr. appointee.  The decision says that new districts must be drawn up in time for the 2020 election.  Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link.

  1. One more gerrymander op by the math MORONS —

    ALL single member district systems are AUTOMATIC ANTI-Democracy minority rule systems.

    1/2 or less [plurality] votes x 1/2 [bare majority] rigged packed/cracked gerrymander districts = 1/4 or less CONTROL

    = ANTI-Democracy MINORITY RULE O-L-I-G-A-R-C-H-Y

    — with always lurking TYRANT MONARCHS – STALINS/HITLERS.

    UNEQUAL votes for winners in districts.

    UNEQUAL total votes in districts.

    Much, much, much worse primary math
    — extremist special interest gang nominations
    — about 5-15 percent REAL minority rule.

    SUBVERSION of 4-4 RFG and 14-1 EPC.

    Way too many MORON lawyers and much worse super-MORON so-called judges.

    PR and AppV
