Showing Original Post only (View all)Democrats should be livid about losing the House [View all]

Gerrymandered maps in Florida, Louisiana, Ohio, and Texas were deemed illegal. Republicans just ignored the courts and used them anyway. WI is jerrymandered terribly. Dems tried to fight back in New York, but Conservative judges deemed their map illegal and they didn't use it. Dems should have jus used the map they made in New York.
Michigan voters voted to have a non partisan panel redraw their map, it lead to the voters of our state having the representation in Washington and Lansing that is the correct ration of our vote. Dems need to spend a ton of money and effort fixing the maps in several states, whatever it takes, off cycle redrawing can happen.
