Republicans gaining House control through gerrymandering [View all]
I'm not buying into the conventional wisdom on this. California loses a seat likely Republican. New York loses a seat likely Republican. West Virginia loses a seat definitely Republican. Ohio loses a seat already so gerrymandered I can't see how they eliminate a Democratic seat. Michigan loses a seat done by a commission so likely status quo or loss of a Republican seat. Illinois loses a seat and it will most likely be Republican. Pennsylvania loses a seat their court will likely keep things status quo
Texas gains two...already heavily gerrymandered. Florida gains one already heavily gerrymandered. Oregon gains one... good chance a D seat. Same with Colorado and Montana. North Carolina gains one unsure but I don't see a lot of change there either.
I've played around with congressional district configurations all over the country and I just don't see a lot of room for growth for them past what they've already put in place.
I'm a lot more worried about some of these voting nullication and supression measures they're putting in place.
