  • Or was it just a fair map for a change

    I’m not sure about the VA ones but several ‘blue’ states incl. california have tried to pass gerrymandered redistricting under the argument that the republicans are doing it so democrats should too to remain competitive. I get it, but it also feels pretty short-sighted in terms of pretending anyone cares about democracy anymore.

    Most of these bills aren’t written to be temporary or to revert to fairer districting at a later date or anything like that. To me that would have been a simple way to prevent long term damage to ‘democratic’ processes.
