  • They’re going to make the maps look like absolute spaghetti

    In many places they already do look that way.

    I read a good article about it yesterday that gave me at least a tiny sliver of hope. Apologies, on mobile as I type this and don’t have it handy.

    It basically said that some places are already so gerrymandered to death that it will be difficult to do more than they already are. One pitfall is that if they gerrymander TOO much, then there is a risk of losing seats because they spread themselves too thin.

    I’m sure this is still going to suck, but imagine if districts were all fair across the nation and they decided that now gerrymandering is okay and implemented it as a new thing, the consequences would be MUCH more severe and impactful.
