One point that I don’t think gets enough attention: gerrymandering gets more districts for a party by chipping into districts usually held by opposing parties. That dilutes the strength a party has in each district.
Can you imagine if the R’s gerrymandering drive ends up gaining Democratic districts because they stretched their leads too thin? That may have been part of the reason Indiana didn’t move forward with it.
Ehhhh… Elections are largely done at the state/county level. Not sure what there would be to scrub with the feds that wouldn’t already be in the hands of the states.
Until January 2029, sure. Trump has the right blend of being an outsider, giving appearances of being wildly rich and successful, personality, and word salads that people will hear what they want to hear out of him, and think that he’s on their side.
Vance rode the Trump train last election, but I don’t think he has an engine of his own strong enough to pull off a decent campaign.
You know… Assuming elections still work the way they’re supposed to.
“That doesn’t exist,” office of personnel management (OPM) director Scott Kupor told Reuters earlier this month when asked about Doge’s status, adding that it was no longer a “centralized entity”.
I’m going to guess that means the DOGE people are basically integrated into their respective agencies.
Or she’s going to try to run for Senate and wants to lie low for a bit to cool down emotions
He’d be pardoned immediately
… So I don’t know why the Democrats want to implicate themselves
Because we all know how upset Antifa was at the idea of Donald Trump leaving office and wanted to do everything they could to stop it
Yes, DOGE officer? This one right here. DOGE officer? Where’d you go?
Everyone who was against Trump has committed mortgage fraud and is getting busted for it at the same time?
Literally unbelievable.
So you’re talking about other maps, probably for state-level races? I guess, but for those who live in the 49 states other than Utah this is literally the only map that can affect things outside of Utah by flipping a seat in the US house. Everything else is either a statewide election, or only affects Utah politics.
Uh, yeah, and the judge agreed and changed that?
I’m glad the “bombshell” is actually given, rather than some lame “I’ve got a secret” thing, but…
According to a report Friday from Drop Site News, Epstein had helped broker a defense agreement between the West African nation Côte d’Ivoire and Israel, a revelation uncovered from recently leaked emails of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
… That’s it? Am I missing something, or is MTG blowing things out of proportion? Or is that not the bombshell?
Hmmm, wonder who killed it
Pretty sure he said that in season 1 too. I would say these writers need some original content but so far what they’ve done for season 2 has been even worse
All I’m seeing there (feel free to tell me what I missed) is either court-ordered, or part of the typical redistricting cycle.
The US census happens every 10 years on the 0’s, and remapping happens soon after especially as states lose and gain districts (some may have a shift in where their populations are and with that the boundaries chance as well). I’m not talking about any gerrymandering there, because that’s (unfortunately) part of the “normal” process.
Sometimes those maps get challenged in court, and the court agrees with those challenges, forcing a new map outside of that usual cycle. I’m not talking about that either, because that’s done involuntarily after a court makes them do it.
Texas started it all by changing their maps about halfway through the typical census cycle, without any court requiring it. THAT is what I’m trying to say is so abnormal and where I want to be proven wrong. It sounds picky, but any other redistricting I’m aware of is common enough and can have good reason to do so, but not this.
Superintendent Chalmers references aside, feel free to prove me wrong. I’m going to have a hard time proving the negative.
In the middle of the decade, and not from a court forcing them to?
Yeah… That’s not what I’m talking about at all
Exactly that. Sorry if my wording sucked!
