The decision Thursday marks a rare setback for #Republicans in a national #redistricting battle. Republicans had hoped #Missouri’s new congressional boundaries could help them “win” an additional seat & hold onto their slim #House majority in the #midterms.

@TexasObserver
People (outside of #Texas) think TX is a "red state" b/c #Republicans have been in total control for 30 years (but that doesn't stop them from promising to "fix problems" they've overseen while THEY were in power.)But they routinely win only by ~5% and achieve that only through #Gerrymandering and #VoterSuppression.
In a wave/change election, that 5% MoE has evaporated.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! POINT AND LAUGH!
Some of us said this would happen.
"Texas Republicans thought they had redrawn five seats into GOP hands. Not so fast."

@HGU @BlumeEvolution Das Argument, "14 Millionen haben nicht mitgewählt, weil sie unter 18 sind", finde ich nicht überzeugend. Man darf davon ausgehen, dass die meisten Eltern auch im Interesse ihrer Kinder wählen. Also fällt nur der Teil der Kinder durchs Raster, deren Eltern zu den drei anderen Kategorien gehören: Nichtwähler, nicht wahlberechtigte Ausländer, Wähler von Kleinparteien. – Das entscheidende Argument von @arnesemsrott ist allerdings das ideologische #gerrymandering .

For my latest article for Inquirer.net, I decided to talk about something light and fun and it is the daily puzzle game #Gerrymandle. Your aim in the game is to create electoral districts so that your political party wins more districts than other parties.

@bbd wie man an den USA sehen kann, bringt #gerrymandering nur Vorteile.
Für faschistoide Parteikonstrukte, welche zu Steigbügelhaltern korrupter, menschenfeindlicher Möchtegerndiktatoren werden.

Is this really how you see people who don't vote? Most of the people I know who didn't couldn't manage the hurdles put in front of them
#VoterSuppression
or they looked at the people running and couldn't see anyone who could conceivably represent them & decided it wasn't worth the hassleScapegoating an imaginary non-voter doesn't help us fix what's wrong with this system
