He called the ruling a “huge win” over a “horrible gerrymander.” But Trump himself has ordered many GOP states to gerrymander maximally. So here Trump openly declared that Republicans reserve the right to rig elections while Democrats do not. His actual position is that Republicans should play by their own corrupt rules, a declaration of intent to functionally steal the midterms.
The solution is to have a computer program draw congressional districts but neither party wants it because they like gerrymandering as long as it benefits it benefits their party.
Computers have been used for gerrymandering since the late 1970s. I know people who worked on it.
The dems have tried to pass a no gerrymandering law multiple times. The states with laws against it are blue states. Dems are bad but you are outright lying to advance a point.
Well, there is absolutely no reason for the Democratic Party to unilaterally disarm.
Fuck that noise.
If the Republicans would get on board with passing a bill to end the practice, then we talk about ending it.
having a computer program do it isn’t some guarantee of unbiasedness, you can easily make a program that will optimize for republican party win
That’s how they do it now. It’s just about which constraints to use, which is why the VRA was so important.
