One last thing to add in the left vs right gerrymandering.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/2747/related-bills

"In 2022, Congress nearly passed the Freedom to Vote Act, a landmark package of democracy reforms that included a prohibition on partisan gerrymandering in the drawing of congressional districts. The transformative bill passed the House and had majority support in the Senate. It stalled only because the Senate failed by two votes to modify the chamber's archaic filibuster rules to allow the bill to advance to an up-or-down floor vote."

No surprise here considering what I found earlier?

Who voted against the bill to end partisan gerrymandering?

"All 50 Republican senators voted against advancing the Freedom to Vote Act in a procedural vote, effectively blocking the legislation from moving forward in the Senate. No Republican senators supported the bill, resulting in a 51-49 vote against advancing it—the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster were not met. The only Democratic senator who voted "no" was Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who did so as a procedural maneuver to bring the bill up again later, not out of opposition to the bill itself. The opposition from Republicans was unified, and the vote failed primarily due to their filibuster."
I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

Technically, Texas is included in the racial gerrymandering conversation?

"Texas Racial Gerrymandering
Texas Republicans have unveiled new congressional maps that critics say constitute racial gerrymandering, diluting the voting power of Latino, Black, and Asian communities.
The redistricting, initiated mid-decade, aims to bolster Republican gains ahead of the 2026 midterm elections and is seen as an effort to secure more seats for Donald Trump's agenda.
The dramatic reshaping of District 35, currently represented by Latino Congressman Greg Casar, would absorb historically minority neighborhoods in east Austin into a neighboring district, effectively weakening Latino electoral influence."
I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

If each valid citizen gets exactly one vote, how exactly is their voting power diluted. That statement is nothing but race bating.

Redistricting divides the group in to separate districts?

What was the point of MKD's original video in the thread?

Democrats love to talk about gerrymandering of districts, but try to have an honest conversation about accurate census counting and see how that goes.

The same as trying to have an honest conversion with you about anything else?  :whistle:

I didn't watch the video. I get it though, but the gerrymandering argument works both ways so it isn't really valid. If you let D's draw the map they will favor themselves, if you let R's draw the map, same.

I call bullshit.. I live in a republican district that got gerrymandered into a Dem district... twice
The bipartisan commission was approved by the voters but once it was commissioned it was packed
with Dems and Rhinos
Personally, I question the veracity and neutrality of worldpopulationreview.com
