On May 10, state officials from Ohio and Michigan asked the U.S. Supreme Court to stay recent decisions of 3-judge U.S. District Courts concerning redistricting. Both of the lower court recent decisions ordered the state in question to redraw U.S. House districts in time for the 2020 election.
The applications for a stay are: Michigan Senate v League of Women Voters of Michigan, 18A-1170; and Householder v Ohio A. Philip Randolph Institute, 18A1165.
Both applications were addressed to Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who will surely refer each to all members of the Court.

G math –
1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4
Much too difficult math for A-L-L the E-V-I-L HACK lawyers and justices involved ???
plus any/all math morons on this list ???
This keeps happening over and over again. Someone needs to realize that single member districts by themselves aren’t a useful way to conduct legislative elections. Multi member districts of large, well defined constituent bodies, like counties and major cities could be better.

How many $$$ per second for each HACK lawyer piece of JUNK paperwork ???
WZ —
PR has been around since the 1820s-1840s — a mere about 180-200 years [but likely long before].

The SCOTUS math morons have esp. messing with SMD gerrymanders since 1964 – a mere 55 years.
BASIC PR –
Party Members = Total Members x Party Votes / Total Votes
Much too difficult for the math MORONS who never heard about multiplying, dividing and algebra —
ie ALL the math M-O-R-O-N lawyers and judges since 1776 — esp since 1964.
Mich stuff

Higher pops / seat = much easier to have pack/crack gerrymanders.
IE – Mich — Donkeys packed. Rest cracked Elephants.
Here is a link to the Massachusetts system where the state has statutes and robotics for counting both by hand and/or automation:

(NOTE: The article talks about ranked choice voting (RCV) in multiple and single winner districts. RCV in single-winner districts should be avoided because it brings a one-party system. See San Francisco as an example where RCV brings a one-party system. In two-member districts RCV bring the three-party system.)
Try and count the gerrymander Amdts to the 1780 Mass Const. —
oligarchs at work — mere about 220 years.
typo — mere about 240 years.
