6. I posted this on DU the other day in response to a gerrymandering issue:

There is a redistricting map that can be downloaded to your phone so you can see not only how the Rs have gerrymandered districts and how they are intentionally racially bias, but you can "redistrict" your own state to represent more equal representation. The article admitted that the Rs will likely get the gerrymandering that they are seeking but the purpose of these redistricting maps will support legal challenges to whatever they gerrymander as they can prove the discrimination. The original map was developed by a tech in Silicon Valley and the maps are free.

There are several variations of these maps. The article also stated that the Rs should be afraid because, due to these maps, gerrymandering will be a thing of the past. The USSC will have the final say on redistricting and so I still don't hold a lot of hope UNLESS Biden gets his court reformation in place and these kinds of issues will go before this new court.
