You Mean We Can't Disenfranchise Democrats?

[Tiberius]

I defy you to find one word I have ever written which says that you assholes should be denied the right to vote.

No, but if Gerrymandering were to work to advantage the Democrat vote over the Republican vote you'd be all for it.

This is why the Supreme Court needs to come up with a bipartisan test so we can rid the country of gerrymandering on both sides. There's no point in having elections if they aren't fair.

Sorry, rationality isn't allowed in these threads. Your ballot has been thrown out.

The irony being, of course, that this is what is likely to happen.  

The calculateers (yup, new word for ya) base their calculations on likely turn-out (from trend data).

By piling all the x-voters into one district, where they win a huge majority, and spreading the y-voters across remaining districts, where they win with 'just enough' votes... yup... it doesn't take much of an up-surge in voter turn-out to wipe party y off the map.

...
And yes, I voted Sanders in the primary.
...

The Democrats need a moderate who at least has a message that will resonate with the blue collar workers in the Rust Belt and Coal States.
...

More irony in that Bernie probably was that moderate.

Well, actually, a bit too conservative for my tastes but oh well.

Bernie Sanders? If you say so.

The Democrats need a moderate who at least has a message that will resonate with the blue collar workers in the Rust Belt and Coal States. With the economy, the market, and the jobs numbers on the rise, the Dems have an uphill battle to climb. Although they may win a seat in the House since Darrell Issa is retiring.

Mommy mommy, I don't like it when others vote differently.

Yea that is why we have COURTS.

J.O.B. Get off your lazy ass and go out and get one. Get out and mingle with people in the real world. Develop some social skills and take your psych meds.

Just watched on the news this a.m.. Looks like more Gerrymandering happened in PA where a judge ruled in favor of the Republicans. All happening just after a federal judge ruled in favor of the Dems in NC.
