Redistricting for Congressional Seats

[Realk]

Trump won 49.8% of the vote. I guess they also don’t like rounding when it doesn’t suit them.

I think the point that Tgo was saying is that homie, was like it's not a win because everyone that was eligible to vote maybe didn't.

Yeah that's what the dude was saying. Something like 60% of eligible voters actually voted, so since Trump only got half of those votes he didn't really win the popular vote because he didn't get a majority support.

Next ask them when the last election was where "everyone" who was eligible to vote voted, and watch how angry they get when they realized they're retarded.

Gotcha. Yeah that’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard in a while. Some just refuse to acknowledge Trump winning at anything.

Not to brag.. but it was either Backlash or cRyDeR that made that exact point already.

We literally have the dumbest of the dumb people on this very forum.

So, tell us more about how it's only Republicans:

As far as I know Illinois congressional districts were drawn after the census in 2020 according to the rules laid out by the state and they adhere to voting act restrictions of race, population, and balance.

The fact that it was redrawn by Democrats in the legislature with a democratic governor based on census records is all by the book.

What's happening in Texas is an obvious power grab. The Republicans have said it themselves. Trump has said they are entitled to five more seats. They're doing it without census information which is actually legal in the case of Texas but the way they've drawn it may run into issues with the voting rights act. Courts will determine if they are legal and if not will prevent them from being implemented. At least that's how it's supposed to work.

Why is it only a power grab when Republicans do it?

[Back]

Nobody gerrymanders like the Dems. You still haven’t said anything about California & Illinois among other blue states.

You’re in the wrong country if you want to ban the electoral college. We are a Constitutional Republic, not an Athenian Democracy.

Democrats have tried to ban gerrymandering in Congress but have not been able to because of Republicans. Look it up.

[Back]

Why is it only a power grab when Republicans do it?

When they do it out of sequence with the census, redraw it to drown out racial voices, at the bidding of the president, and say they are doing it to solidify GOP control it's pretty big indication that it's clearly a powergrab.

If Republicans insist on gerrymandering then Democrats should do it too. You can't say it's bad for Democrats and good for Republicans or that it's bad for Republicans are good for Democrats. Either we have gerrymandering or we don't.

Personally I think it should just be one person one vote for all elections

[Tgo01]

I just want to make sure I understand your latest mental breakdown correctly.

You think:
A) it can’t be a power grab if it is done after the census.
B) it can’t be a power grab unless people specifically say it is a power grab.
C) it can’t be a power grab if the president isn’t urging them to do it.

You do realize how dumb this all sounds right?
