Trump lays out his redistricting endgame: A 100-seat Republican majority

[demmiblue]

President Trump shared his ultimate voting reform goal in a Wednesday Truth Social post, saying he wants the GOP to pick up 100 congressional seats.

Why it matters: Trump's unrealistic vision of a Republican supermajority in the House relies on a combination of GOP-led states redistricting out Democrats and ending mail-in balloting nationwide.

"If we do these TWO things, we will pick up 100 more seats, and the CROOKED game of politics is over," he wrote.

Catch up quick: The Texas House on Wednesday passed a new congressional map that would give Republicans five more seats in the House.

2. This was

my point in another thread where I was accused of being MAGA for saying so.
The majority party is using it's voting power to diminish or even eliminate representation for the minority. This is highly unethical for anyone to be doing.

Due to this obvious undemocratic, authoritarian power grab? Maybe the EU or some individual countries will consider it. ???
