Clown. These people won't stop until every state adopts authoritarian Maryland-style maps.
No, they want fair maps! We definitely could have gotten those if only we had supported the very independent, very nonpartisan commissions proposed in H.R. 1. Too bad, now we’ll get a Democratic gerrymander.
Do you have any theories as to why Republicans have not proposed or supported
any federal legislation for fair redistricting at all, IndyRep? Because the fact is if they proposed it Democrats would almost certainly support it even if it was a compromise of some sort and even independently of the other stuff in HR1, and yet federal action on gerrymandering of any kind is a nonstarter for Republicans in Congress. The only rational explanations in my mind are A. they think that the status quo is the best possible option and there's nothing which the government to do to make it better, which lol, or B. they correctly recognize that gerrymandering is on net a positive for the Republican Party and don't want to ameliorate an institution which advantages them.
