      You want to know how Republicans cheat it’s not by stuffing ballot boxes with dead people, it’s shit like gerrymandering and redrawing maps

      politicians picking their voters instead of voters picking their politicians.

      „Greg Abbott accused of ~~trying to ‘fix’ midterms for Republicans by redrawing congressional maps~~ eating breakfast“ FIFY. As if this elected domestic terrorist cares about this??

      At one point we were smart enough as a society for this headline to read „Abbott accused of gerrymandering.“

      I guess they’re not confident Musk will come in with the guaranteed fix in 2026 again.

      Texas is already one of the most gerrymandered states, but sure, rig it so it’s 100% anti-democracy single party rule.

      Just like NC which is Gerrymandered to a 10-4 Republican advantage in a state that is about as close to a 50-50 split as possible.

      9 of the worst 10 gerrymandered states (according to [Princeton Gerrymander project](https://gerrymander.princeton.edu)) favor Republicans

      edit:

      >Overall, the Brennan Center for Justice estimated that gerrymandering, primarily in the South and Midwest, gave Republicans a significant advantage, potentially costing Democrats around 16 House seats in 2024 compared to fair maps.

      imagine that, GOP controls the House by only 5 seats even with that 16 seat scam.

      This is the only reason they currently have a majority. If not for gerrymandering they would never have a majority. They seek to fix the system permanently.

      So, this would be a DEI congressional map, not one based on merit because they all suck at governing.

      Texas is already gerrymandered as it gets. How could it get worse?

      California, New York and Illinois should be looking to do the same. The Dems need to start fighting fire with fire. I know that some states have legislation that prevents this, but the Dems should be working to get rid of that legislation.

      Redistricting (as it is currently handled in a lot of states) is a fundamental flaw in the system. The majority of us probably live in states where we don’t choose our representatives, they choose us.

    23. Done327 on

      California and New York need to go back to gerrymandering. Maryland as well tbh.

    24. Natural6 on

      Didn’t California say they’re going to do the same if Texas moves forward with this?

      Political boundary maps should not be allowed revision with so little oversight; it’s hard to stay focused and engaged when the system is so blatantly corrupt.

      I love how Fox News just runs entire segments like „Demoncrats are Satan-worshipping pedophiles. More at 11.“ Then the MSM runs these soft headlines „Republicans have been accused of rigging elections.“ You read the article and five paragraphs in, you find out they’ve stacked the election board with partisan hacks that can refuse to certify the election results if they don’t go their way, had their state AG throw out the ballots of all non-white neighborhoods in the state, redrew every district boundary to allow them to rule with 5% of the vote, and removed every voting station from districts that were even 1 point Democrat favored. MSM says, „election tampering accusations fly in Texas.“ Useless assholes, the lot of them.

      I know an old guy in LA who’s 4 kids all live in Austin with their families. He said that Texas is very very close to flipping blue, and people there talk about it all of the time. It’s gone republican since the 80’s, but the splits in the last few elections (not including the last one) were very close to 50/50… All that being said, The old politicians in Texas and generally everywhere know were coming for their Geriatric asses, and their days are numbered.

      This is textbook GOP behavior. Fawn over American exceptionalism and fake patriotism, but shit all over our democratic processes. Cowards and thieves, all of them.

    33. All_Lawfather on

      This is the only way republicans have any fucking chance in the first place. By cheating

    34. Small_Cutie8461 on

      Come on this is completely old news. The guy was caught bragging that the state would be Blu if he didn’t do what he was doing. This is the kind of shit that needs to be stopped either through the laws or through violence. I don’t care anymore. Just get it done.
