If you can’t win in a fair way because your ideas are fucking garbage, change how you count!
Remember, they won’t abandon their ideas, they abandon democracy.
Their goal is not to govern (clearly...), it's to subjugate.
Gotta dial up that voter suppression!
Literally in response to Trump asking them to so they can win the midterms...
But the Supreme Court will somehow say this is not blatant gerrymandering, or it'll be "unfortunately" timed to not be applicable to the midterm results
In other cases, the Supreme Court has said gerrymandering is A-OK so long as it's based on partisanship instead of race. And they'll accept the most blatantly prextextual justification for why any particular district is partisan instead of racist.
I'm not saying this is/isn't bullshit.
But, there is no reasonable way they can redistrict anything in time for the midterms.
Not to say that they still won't try, potentially harming future elections even more.
Plus, can you really get more gerrymandering out of this state?
