(58,374 posts)CA has a nonpartisan redistricting commission that fairly apportions districts. It is what has allowed scumbag Republican pols to thrive in CA rural areas. That is about to change, thanks to the ballot initiative Newsom announced. Texas'
outrageous gerrymandering forced CA to stop unilaterally disarming.

(5,616 posts)It IS possible to gerrymander and completely erase a party's seats. When they gerrymandered Nashville's House seat, they just carved the city into three pieces and tucked each piece into a very large rural district. It became nearly impossible for a Democrat to win any of those seats.
BUT ..... There is an interesting set of factors in a special election for the 7th District, where Mark Green recently resigned. Clarksville is in the 7th District, and Clarksville's population has been BOOMING! I was at a 'No Kings' protest in Clarksville, and witnessed AMAZING support!
When you add Clarksville's Democrats to 1/3 of Nashville's Dems (plus many disenchanted rural Republican voters), we just might get a Dem in that seat!

(30,524 posts)I couldn't remember when and where he said it. Cruz is a creep. Even in college other students didn't like him.
