But you'd have to get rid of the VRA to do that (i.e. draw clean and neat shapes and draw maps by geography, not crack cities/counties/precincts at all when possible, etc) and the Dems in control would never go for that.
The VRA hurts Republicans in deep red southern states but it hurts Democrats in the swingy purple upper midwest type of states. The current Michigan map for example is both a clean non-gerrymandered map and also an epic violation of the VRA, since it doesn't draw any black-plurality/black-majority districts even though there is a distinct case there should be 2 black majority districts and it's easy to draw them as such. For example. The black rights activists fighting the Michigan map in court might end up helping Republicans if they force the legislature/commission to draw a map that would include Pontiac and especially black-heavy Flint in with the NW Detroit area black voting bloc.
The current Michigan map: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com...maps/michigan/ is a violation of the VRA because it packs too many black voters in the Washtenaw and Oakland county districts as well as packing Flint with an overall district this is extremely white outside of Flint. It is still in litigation and may very well be struck down in court over the VRA, but maybe not in time for the 2022 election.
Here's a VRA-compliant map I proposed a few weeks ago in Michigan that would give blacks 2 majority districts, one spanning most of Detroit and the other going from black-heavy NW Detroit and the black suburbs such as Southfield all the way through Pontiac and up to Flint. VRA-compliant.

Geez, how tall us the apple crate he's standing on there?

Ron DeSantis's hand-drawn U.S. congressional Florida redistricting map survives the Florida Supreme Court and will be officially valid for the 2022 election.
Ron MF DeSantis
Makes sense for states like NH and VA, AZ, NM, GA, NE, KS, etc. States that have kind of bucked Trump but strongly hate the Left. FL is a tough one because they love both of them. Iowa will most definitely go to Trump, though, as well as (most) the SEC Super Tuesday states.
Hopefully the trend continues, or they run together in 2024 and DeSantis runs with a strong VP in 2028 and 2032.
Standing ovation
A liberal Florida judge will step in and reverse this over the weekend.
Standing ovation
Fla Gov swing a big D
They made America Texas in 2000, Chicago in 2008 and a nursing home in 2020.
F me if that happens.
You can count on it, boomster. The left doesn't taken it, like we do. They get right on it, in broad daylight. And they always have.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/unusual...id-0-rcna42091In January 2020, Glenn Youngkin, now the Republican governor of Virginia, got some welcome news. A complex corporate transaction had gone through at the Carlyle Group, the powerful private equity company that Youngkin led as co-chief executive. Under the deal, approved by the Carlyle board and code-named “Project Phoenix,” he began receiving $8.5 million worth of Carlyle stock, tax-free, according to court do ents.
The Project Phoenix payout came on top of $54 million in compensation Youngkin had received from Carlyle during the previous two years, regulatory records show. Youngkin retired from Carlyle on Sept. 30, 2020; he won the governor’s election in November 2021.
Youngkin was not alone in receiving the 2020 windfall, according to the court do ents. Eight other wealthy Carlyle officials received over $200 million worth of company shares in the deal, tax-free and paid for by the company. David M. Rubenstein, Carlyle’s billionaire founder and co-chairman, received $70.5 million worth.
Now, that transaction is under attack by a Carlyle shareholder in Delaware Chancery Court. The suit, filed last week by the city of Pittsburgh Comprehensive Municipal Pension Trust Fund, says the $344 million deal harmed Carlyle’s stockholders, who received nothing in return when they funded the payday.
What happens when he sells the tax free shares?
You excited for your boy DeSantis to pull a very respectable 28% of the vote in the first primary before bowing out and bending the knee to Trump?
daboom1 aka Chris you can answer that one too if you would be so kind
