U.S. House district boundaries for 2012 are still unsettled in six of the seven most populous states. Only California’s U.S. House district boundaries are established.
The legislatures of Florida, New York, and Pennsylvania still haven’t passed any congressional redistricting bills. In Texas and Illinois, the legislatures have passed bills to draw new U.S. House districts, but lawsuits are challenging the new districts, and courts have already ordered the normal petitioning period for primary ballot access in those states pushed back. And in Ohio, the U.S. House districts were redrawn by the legislature, but a referendum petition is circulating. If the petition obtains enough signatures, the legislature’s plan can’t be used until the people vote on the plan in November 2012.
3 ANTI-Democracy minority rule gerrymanders in the U.S.A. regime –
House
Senate
Electoral College
1/2 votes x 1/2 gerrymander areas = 1/4 CONTROL
Much worse in the Senate due to lots of below average States.
Much much worse due to primary math.
Result – The EVIL in the U.S.A. regime since 4 Mar 1789
Slavery to 1865
Destruction of most American Indian tribes
Undeclared WARS
INSANE deficits and accumulated debt – now $ 15 TRILLION plus
P.R. and nonpartisan App.V. — before it is too late.
Texas’s court-ordered districts were upheld on appeal and now await only possible review by the U.S. Supreme Court. I think they’re pretty much set.
Late news says that the TX regime will be appealing to SCOTUS on Monday.

Ex-Brit gerrymander regime that got P.R. in the early 1990s — about 95 percent accurate.
