Dummymandering

"Gerrymandering effort intended to favor a certain political party, but which backfires by benefiting another party instead."

Texas GOP succeeded in this at least.

9th: Drawn to take away a Dem stronghold. Wasn't even close.

4 of 5 Valley districts drawn just for Republicans, not even close either.

Results: Net 1 Democrat statewide

(Just for fun, California's five districts redrawn in response to Texas efforts all went Dem)

Now, will it convince people to not try it again?

This is my new district, I was shocked. A lot of money wasted on those 2 flyers a day I was getting from Mealer.

The gop worked hard for 2 years t prevent Tuesdays results.

They knew there agenda wasn't popular, but they were serving billionaires and trump and not the people.

I suppose america "woke" up.

In spite of the gerrymandering
In spite of the laws changes in almost all red states,
In spite of the scotus gutting the voting rights act
In spite of the unlimited dark money pouring into gop campaigns, while Democrats begged for $1 donations
In spite of the Russian bot farms and putin support

Yeah, in spite of all that in more, that was a bruce lee *** whooping with hands tied behind his back.

Not even an argument for voter fraud at this point, but don't expect trump to stop fighting back.

By the way, I'm already seeing friends suggesting we are moving toward sharia law as Muslims take over- seriously- one muslim in the Senate out of 100 is triggering panic. Wtf.

I'm more concerned with Ai killing off humanity than sharia law ruling our lives.
