      This will hopeful negate at least one of Texas’s new districts but who knows if republicans will even comply

      Democrats need to turn up the heat in every blue state. Overwhelm the GOP, unite and broadcast a new vision for the economy, workforce and civil rights. Encourage voters especially independents to bury the GOP in 2026. 

      Taking the House back alone would help nullify the remainder of Trump’s presidency. Taking the Senate (albeit unlikely) too and we’re *really* cooking 😈. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

      The shitty thing though is how the senate works. Like, 2 motherfuckers could live in an otherwise empty state, vote for each other, and have same the power as two senators from a state with 40 million people. Like, I get the whole „small state representation“ bullshit, but at a certain point it becomes ridiculous.

      If you follow the set up to its logical end, you could have all of the 350 million Americans move to one state, but they would be overridden by 98 individual people in 49 other states just because state boundary lines override individual representation. How does that make sense?

      Well that’s unusual. Nice to see an attempt to stop gerrymandering actually matter. We’ll see what the result is though.

      This isn’t getting enough attention

      Utah legislature gerrymandered my city of SLC into 4 so that the urban area got outvoted by the rural areas in every district of the state.

      This ruling finally overturns that and guarantees the adoption of one of the nonpartisan-approved maps in which all of them virtually guarantee a democrat seat, which finally means that the 40% of us in Utah who are democrats can get some representation

      Definitely good news, but why wouldn’t a heavily red Utah vote FOR gerrymandering, especially if Daddy asks for their vote?

      Genuinely asking.

      An independent redistricting commission was created after a voter-led referendum overwhelmingly passed in **2018.** In the near decade that has followed, the Utah State Republican legislature has fought tooth and nail to undermine and ignore that commission, drawing their own maps that split Salt Lake County, Utah’s most liberal and most populous city, into four pieces.

      The legislature will almost certainly appeal, but even more certain is that they will drag the process out for as long as possible, until once again it’s too late for it to matter for the next elections.
