By outlawing racial gerrymandering, the Supreme Court just put dozens of artificially Democrat House seats in play. But the 2030 Census may hand Republicans a generational majority.
Another extraordinary post, Rod!👍👍👍 It doesn’t look good for the power hungry Dems. Perhaps after the effective death of the Dem Party our country can live in relative peace and prosperity for awhile. There is always the risk that Republicans, if granted generational power, will ultimately fall victim to the seduction of unopposed power. After all, people will be people, as power and money 💰 tend to be at the root of most issues. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
The Supreme Court has always said yes. However, some wouldn't like the outcome if we had completely straight districts: I had an AI agent divvy up each state based on a requirement that all districts be geographically compact with no racial or political considerations whatsoever, and the result was 280 Republican seats.
This is much like repealing the 17th Amendment: that produces a 70-seat Republican majority in the Senate.
Nothing is coincidental, and the left dominated most of the 20th Century's rulemaking.
Perhaps the Democrats should call for a constitutional amendment to count illegal aliens as half a person? That would be intellectually honest, and would allow the current sharecropping mechanism to be adjudicated.
Properly made voting districts should allow for a lot more Centrist candidates to flourish. People who are not rigidly right or left and this would allow for compromise and a much healthier country. Political gerrymandering sucks and is ruining us.
According to the table Texas alone gained over 4 times the total population change of the bottom 10 states. Florida gained over 3 times the total. North Carolina and Georgia each gained about the same total. Where did all these extra people come from - births, immigrant new citizens, Mars?
All over the country. And an awful lot more than the chart shows from New York and California. Their net out-migration numbers are nerfed by the wave of illegal aliens they deliberately brought in.

Yes. Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.
How do we prevent the 2030 census from being corrupted as the 2020 one was?
The administration is going to have to address that forcefully, and then we're going to need to win in 2028 with a candidate who will make that stick.
Ideally we'd pass legislation. That's going to depend on November (or possibly November of 2028). We have some time.
Are artificial districts based strictly on politics fine?

Seems historically sound to me. LOL
Or 3/5th person?
