We still have lawsuits out there over their gerrymandering. Hopefully we can get a scotus win
Nah, no way they still gerrymandering ? 😂 You think they done poking themselves in the eyeballs and pretending someone else is doing it ?
Gerrymandering is a political manipulation to deny free & fair voting. Gerrymandering is not dealt with by an impartial judicial system because the judicial system is politicized by those who Gerrymander. A broken democracy & judiciary is the American reality.
Republicans will lose like always
