(642 posts)There has been three prior redistricting done that were entirely illegal. One was actually drawn by the courts which were heavily republican. The two others were done outside of the census (redistricting was to be done after the census meaning every ten years) and were drawn entirely by republicans. Texas is about the crookedest state in the union. The governor has been in office since Bush was sworn in as President.

(3,472 posts)At least for the next few elections. Paper & markers can't be hacked. We're adults...we don't have to know the results 2 minutes after the polls close. The powers that be will scream about "not enough time" to print ballots or some such bullshit, but it'll be just that...bullshit.
We will unfortunately also need serious oversight by independent agencies, possibly even UN. We have got to deal with the fact that Rethugs will be pulling out ALL the stops to rig the next election because it's the only thing that will keep them out of jail.
