The state’s voters approved a map that could give Democrats four more House seats, putting the party on more even footing in the nation’s gerrymandering war.

    On the radio this morning, they quoted someone whining that now the GOP voters won’t have a voice. I said, out loud, “Awww poor babies. Now you know how dems in Texas feel.”

    Proud of my state.

    I’m against gerrymandering, but at this point, I’m way more against fascism. We need the fascists gone (and our oligarchs defeated) at whatever cost. THEN we can worry about fair elections (as it stands, Republicans will still benefit more from gerrymandering that Democrats anyway, so it’s not fair right now and sitll in Republicans’ favour)

    I expect more of these kind of policies as Dems and unaffiliated become more and more popular in local elections. I’ve even seen mayors, sheriffs, and school board candidates trying to hide any affiliation with the GOP; they are afraid.

    The ONLY Solution is to Gerrymander because Republicans are NOT SHEEP and ONLY vote for The people who Will Bring down Prices! Make their Lives EASIER! NOT start Wars! have an R by their Name!
