#Mississippi is 37.7% Black, the highest percentage in the country. It has only one Black representative in Congress, #BennieThompson, elected by the only Black-majority district in the state. Governor #TateReeves says that a new map with no Black-majority districts would save the state from the current "reign of terror".

#Gerrymandering Sind die #USA noch eine #Demokratie?Eine Kolumne von #JohannaRoth
Rechtzeitig zu den Midterms macht der Supreme Court den Republikanern ein Geschenk und schwächt das Wahlrecht in den USA. Das könnte das Land um Jahrzehnte zurückwerfen.

You, @volkris, asked: "Why would u use a political action to resolve a legal dispute?"
The legal dispute was the Supreme Court's Callais case which cheated many Black people out of their voting rights. Soon after Republican racists on the Supreme Court further weakened the #VotingRightsAct, Republican racists in Southern legislatures took action to cheat Black people in their states of political representation. Those racists eliminated some majority Black districts by adding more White voters.

John Fugelsang wrote: "I would like to thank all of the Gerrymandering Confederates who've stopped pretending they're not racist. The next step is to stop pretending you're Christian, because y'all hate the Gospels as deeply as you hate the #VotingRightsAct."
