Is there a standalone anti-gerrymandering bill that republicans are refusing to sign? My understanding is that it’s packaged with 25 different liberal priorities. You don’t get to take credit for supporting a popular position when you know that it has no chance of passing
These “liberal priorities” include ensuring disabled people have the right to vote and that law abididng citizens have the right to vote. Kinda like our constitution mandates…
The truth is that the GOP will make up any excuse to do anything, talking out of one hole about how offended they are by the Illinois gerrymander, and out the other about how gerrymandering is a necessary evil. To answer your question, anyway, yes there was a stand-alone gerrymandering bill that couldn’t get a vote in a GOP Congress. They could also write their own bill but won’t, because in the world outside of the both-sides-ism plaguing some people’s minds, only the democrats have any interest in ending gerrymandering which is why only they have ever tried to do so….
