The crimes on 34 Felonies and the boxes in Mar-A-Lago aren't in this Thread!

Let's go when the Texans' wanted five more members of Republicans; they know another two Impreachments: We know that (Trump & Texas Governor) one more Impeachment if the next time of the House of Representative.

NY, CA and Illinois, 15 more Democrats in the House of Representatives?: The Stupid of the Texas' peoples Gerrymandering and mark francis too.

Our so far Californian People (200,000) so far and I will post $200 dollars too in the electon reform.

Once ten years to do so: Too only the Texas has five years and that Gerrymandering is Unconstitutional!! (read my Signature too): CA had reform in 2010!
 
Democratic Party would be wise to lean into the issue of doing something in Congress about Gerrymandering. Force Republicans to respond and take a stance.

This incoherent screed might just be the product of a CA public school education.

On the Constitution of the United States come to see the Republican of MAGA's people, and do to their party to go down to the Whig Party.

Soon The American People will vote in Nov 2026 and send Trump to the prison and others (MAGA's) away from the House of Reps. If they don't, the Senate will go to hell and if Trump continues we will become a Fascism & Despotism State.

If every state goes whole hog in on gerrymandering the republicans will gain a net total 8 seats over democrats. Let's do it. The democrats have been gerrymandering their states for years and that's why you see CA, NY, IL with huge percentages of the congressional dsitricts despite the percentage of registered republicans and more importantly the number/percentage of votes cast for Trump in 2024. Of course the dem don't find problems with these do they? Hell, no because they did it to maintain power. I've heard several democats talk about it's all about maintaining power and that's the first true thing a democrat has said in years. Power to the democrats, that's what they are talking about. Lose the election and still maintain the seats according to the same congressional map? Common sense tells you it not right.

Why do you be a MAGA? Explain? And explain why do so many American People have put Trump as a President. Now, I'm in cash and in two houses without any mortgages in them in Concord and Danville, CA. I bought one of my sons in Concord and Danville. Think about the value in these cities.
 


Sounds good to me.
The bill limits redistricting to every decade in concert with the census. It ignores the ongoing US community survey which provides annual updates. As the survey shows more than 600K new residents have moved to Texas since the last census. But according to this bill district lines cannot be redrawn to reflect this reality.


The bill in the critera section 3(A) specifies so-called protected groups must have districts created to facilitate their preferred candidates election regardless of voting majorities. It's formalizing racial gerrymandering.

There is plenty more Democrat favoring gerrymandering in the bill such as requiring consideration of any and all alternate district plans generated by special interest groups before a new districting plan can be adopted.

We need a federal law requiring independent commissions do the redistricting.

There is no such thing as an independent commission little on 50 of them to draw district lines.

Yeah, and understand it's unlikely to happen. Good idea for Dems to campaign on regardless.

It's not unconstitutional Texas or Illinois or whatever can gerrymander every 6 months or is no rule that says it has to be every 10 years. It's not unconstitutional it's actually very much protected by the Constitution see the 10th amendment.
 
The basic outline is this: There is a national census every 10 years to establish the number of residents in each state. House districts are then apportioned https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/05/politics/gerrymandering-explained-legalto the states based on each state’s population.

There is not even a rule that you must wait 10 years to do a census you can do it since it's every year. It's that it must be done at least every 10 years.

It happened in CA., (the independent commission), and now we have a Democrat governor trying to undo it to rig an election. Bad move on his part.

Right, you're late to the party on the discussion of why California Dems are countering Texas. Zero interest in trying to explain to you.

It would be unconstitutional for them to do that. See the 10th amendment.
So, it's your belief Dem's bill put forth on redistricting would be unconstitutional?

My point is something needs to be done. Not going to get hung up on particulars.

Politicians picking their voters is a problem both Parties should try to limit in some fashion.

Try harder.
" All told, independent commissions and courts each drew around a fifth of congressional districts. "
