Federal courts ruled earlier this year that AL, GA, and LA each had to draw an additional “majority-minority” House district to satisfy federal law.

In unsigned, unexplained orders, #SCOTUS *blocked* those rulings — resulting in three R seats that would likely have been D seats.

1. And if Justice Thomas were to say have a heart attack and die in the next couple of years,

We have the Senate and President. Like this terrible decision, elections have consequences.

2. It would be interesting to see a report on what a truly Fair map in..

In every state would look like for house representation.

Here in Wisconsin were among the worst as far as gerrymandering.

4. damn, check the Texas maps

like something from a bad acid trip

We have to abolish gerrymandering by any side. Just draw the fucking maps largely along geographic lines. Quit trying to GAME THE SYSTEM so your side wins more.

5. I would put that up against Florida's map

Unlike Texas, we here in Florida have actually abolished gerrymandering, legally at least. The Florida gerrymander was actually struck down by the state court. However, it was reinstated by the appeals court.

Partisan gerrymandering is literally illegal in Florida. Voters have amended our state constitution to outlaw gerrymandering. Partisan gerrymandering is unconstitutional in Florida.. and Republicans STILL. DIDN'T. GIVE. A FUCK!

3. Thomas is an enemy of the state.
