On March 9, the U.S. Supreme Court limited the scope of the federal Voting Rights Act, in matters of redrawing legislative districts to assist racial and ethnic minorities. This New York Times editorial explains the decision and also expresses disagreement with the decision. The vote was 5-4. The case was Bartlett v Strickland, 07-689. It had been argued on October 14, 2008. The Court took almost five months to write and release the opinion.
The Supreme math MORONS and armies of MORON lawyers and law school profs are NOT able to detect —
1. UNEQUAL votes for each gerrymander district winner.
2. UNEQUAL total votes in each gerrymander district.
3. Half the votes in half the gerrymander districts results in about 25 percent minority rule by a Donkey gang or an Elephant gang in each house of each State legislature.
REAL Democracy via P.R. NOW — regardless of A-L-L MORONS.
Total Votes / Total Seats = EQUAL votes needed for each winner — using pre-election candidate rank order lists to transfer surplus votes and loser votes.
Demo Rep, really please take your useless rants and actually talk about what can be done about the problem.
Have you lobbied your elected officials? I submitted proposals, lobbied for bills, written editorals and started some facebook clubs.
