S4:E17 (New Oklahoma Congressional Maps & the Art of the (R) Gerrymander)

The new map for U.S. House districts in Oklahoma finally came out for public view just before the vote on it and it's pretty much as you would have guesses. They kept Tulsa county pretty much in tact. But Oklahoma County? Split up into 3 of Oklahoma's 5 Districts. Gerrymandered? It might be, this week on Across the Desk.

The gerrymander is exactly how states will disconnect elector choices with the overall state popular vote, and connect elector choices to the winning districts -- which will be Republican. pIt's not unconstitutional. It's another flaw they will exploit.

This is a great read that shows how gerrymandering will end democracy in 2022 and beyond.
Believe it.
