Let’s just say it. The GOP is intentionally destroying American democracy.
I don’t see how anyone could argue this point.
The governors of IL, CA, and NY have all come out with promises to follow TX lead, I’d like someone to run the numbers on how the field shifts if all states with a dominant state legislature follow suit. It would be interesting if the numbers favor democrats. Of course, it also depends on how compliant the state supreme courts are.
Illinois is the most Gerrymandered State in the Country. Not like they are not familiar with these shenanigans.
You get one guess what party introduced a bill to ban the shenanigans and which party blocked it.
It should be illegal for legislators to any demographic or historical data when drawing districts. Race, gender, voting registrations or results, even where legislators live. The people should choose representatives, not representatives choosing their voters.
Heck, time was even Todd Rokita was in favor of such things and for his hand slapped by legislators who liked things the way they were. Wonder what pill he swallowed.
It’s actually North Carolina. Illinois doesn’t even show up in the Top 11 states for disproportionate representation.
This makes January 6th look like a tea party. The GOP has been incredibly successful in their thus far subtle disenfranchisement of voters by wrapping their actions in the guise of victimization and patriotism.
This however is a full frontal assault on one of our most cherished freedoms, and frankly may be the “beginning of the end” of our democracy. Is there a Hoosier leader that will stand up and ask “have you no shame?”
Make no mistake: This is the end. We won’t have legitimate elections and representation anymore once the new district lines are drawn. Not that we really had it, at least not for the past twenty years or so. But it’s in plain sight now, both in their actions and rhetoric. Cities and their multicultural populations are to be suppressed; their votes matter less. By stacking the deck through the Senate, gerrymandering, and the electoral college, the GOP is effectively guaranteeing their regime for decades to come.
Two comments: To say this is a “slippery slope” is a gross understatement, and, two, there are NO leaders out there–Hoosier or otherwise.
Indiana Dems would have to win 72% of the votes to win 50% of Assembly seats with existing district boundaries and just about as much for Congressional seats. Congress hasn’t been legitimate for 20 years. The idea that Conservatives (and some Dem states, but very few) haven’t been deliberately eroding the integrity of our Republic for decades is silly. This has been a long game, and we’re coming close to the big finale. The end of a Constituonal Republic.
Super majorities are innately super stupid . They get more radical the longer they exist until they implode .
So the party who has been so opposed to entitlements now states that they, the GOP are entitled to more congressional seats. Says who? As stated the bigger the parties get, the more they are veering from their foundations and initial principles. Super majorities on both sides are dangerous, Republican (IN, FL, TX to name a few) and Democrat (CA, NY, IL to name a few). When checks and balances are missing, the gap is soon filled with idiocy – on both sides. That is why EVERYTHING on the planet only causes cancer in California. Both parties have forgotten the art of compromise and the laws they enact show it.
Vance, go to blazes.
