3 other states are using flawed / rigged maps using this Republican “rope a dope” strategy. Louisiana and Alabama should each have 1 more minority seat to reflect their statewide population, but the Supreme Court won’t decide until this or next year and gave them a stay to use their rigged maps in the meantime.
Florida tried to follow the law and pass a fair map as is the rule in their state, but Detrumpis veto’s and jammed thru an extremely partisan crappy gerrymander. Dems will lose 3 seats in Florida alone because of this. The map isn’t totally settled, they will rule on it sometime after the election.
the North Carolina GOP was forced to draw a fair map, but they want to get rid of some retiring dem justices, replace them with repubs, and vote on a new map as early as next year despite the fact that it took about 8 years for them to fix their previous rigged map from 2010. It didn’t get fixed until 2018.
meanwhile…… dems in Maryland and New York struck down their own maps that were supposed to offset these screw jobs in the aforementioned states. Dem justices were the ones who struck them down. A total disgrace. New York and Maryland needs to make sure they’re ready for the 2030 cycle because the GOP won’t stop looking for ways to screw over dems and disenfranchise voters by not giving them competitive races.
