Kansas State Trial Court Invalidates U.S. House District Boundaries as an Unconstitutional Gerrymander

On April 25, a Kansas state trial court issued a 209-page opinion in Rivera v Schwab, 2022-cv-89, 29th judicial district, Wyandotte County District Court. It finds that the new U.S. House boundaries violate the Kansas Constitution, because they were drawn for partisan advantage and they also diminish the voting power of Black voters.

Here is a newspaper story about the ruling.

  1. Pack / Crack districts – since 1200s in olde England — House of Commons

    1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4 CONTROL

    super-worse extremist primary math.
    ———
    PR – since 1840s – 1840s

  2. If “districts” were based on equal voting age population all voters in a state could simply “register” to vote in any “district” of their choice and receive a custom printed write-in ballot to vote for a U. S. Representative in that “district”. Since there would be a top limit on the number of voters in each district, they could not exceed one person, one vote on the state-wide basis. At present all geographical districts have varying voter turnouts because they are rigged to suppress the vote for one or the other of the two state subsidized parties.
    If a voter moved it would not necessarily matter. Voters could change “districts” between elections.
    Judges don’t need to control for whom voters can choose. Let the volters choose for themselves.

  3. Why would you expect people to know what you mean? Usage statistics show that the vast majority of people who read any given article on a news blog find it by some type of search or link that leads to that article, not by obsessively reading every article and comment on a given website. In most cases the vast majority who scroll as far as the comments don’t bother to leave one themselves. By using abbreviations that are not in common use by the general public you render your comments nonsensical to most likely the vast majority of people who read them.

  4. The garbage comment on April 25, 2022 at 6:34 pm is from a worthless nigger.

  5. Richard Winger is a communist. If a state created more democrats he would support it no matter what. He’s a hack.

  6. The 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments are among many that need to be repealed. That goes double for the disgusting so called civil rights act.

  7. Demoncrats should not be allowed to vote and neither should anyone in any demographic group which has shown a propensity for voting for them.

  8. Richard Winger claims this site is about ballot access but in reality it’s a place to spread his communist views. He should change the title.

  9. Only communists are against voter id and only because they love to steal elections.

  10. Richard Winger always defends his communist buddy Robert K Stock and his trolling personalities.

  11. They called me racist just because I’m white. Now Elon Musk owns Twitter so they can go sit under a tree.

  12. What’s the difference between Kansas and Neil Patrick Harris’ asshole?

  13. Donald Trump does not wear make-up. The fake news media made up that lie. His skin has a natural healthy glow and they are just jealous.
