Partisan gerrymandering is nothing more than an attempt to take advantage of the predictability of the voters. There is absolutely nothing undemocratic about it whatsoever. ERM64man, you are never, ever going to get me to agree with you that whenever partisan gerrymandering occurs (such as in Illinois, where I live now), democracy dies. The Illinois map is clearly gerrymandered now; about 56% of the voters of Illinois voted for Democrats to the US House. But Democrats won 14 out of 17 seats. The ratio of 14/17 is the most partisanly lopsided the state has probably ever had. But am I going to whine that this map is undemocratic? Not on your life.
IMO I don't think you can take the one person, one vote line of cases seriously without arriving at some constitutional limits on gerrymandering.
I’m pretty sure he doesn’t take the one person, one vote cases seriously and believes southern states should be allowed to go back to 20:1 disparities in state legislative districts.
