Amazing how this is the result of an Independent Commission.
Gerrymandering cannot correct for fundamental demographic implosion, it can only shift stuff at the edges.
The only thing that comes close to what has happened in California over the last thirty years, is what happened to the MA GOP in the 1940's - 1970's.
Or the Dem Party in Arkansas.
The difference is, if the Arkansas Dems gerrymandered when they still had a trifecta in 2011, they could still have a House seat if they combined Little Rock with the heavily black, Democratic counties along the Mississippi River.
Arkansas Democrats weren't yet ready to accept they would become a permanent minority that would get wiped off the face of the map. Can you really blame them? lol
Hell, some #populist
Atlas posters still pretend there's hope for Democrats in states like these.
In 2018.
