This would be great to do in all states where we have state legislative majorities and governorships. In this case, the real Michigan will finally get a chance to have a say, and we can expand the swing state map for Republicans. Folks outside Detroit can finally have their voices heard after years of being drowned out.
I'm sure you're also oh so concerned for the voices of Democrats in Texas being drowned out.
Of course it's a partisan power grab. California had to unilaterally disarm on redistricting while TX, FL, PA, OH, MI, VA, NC, and GA rammed through partisan Republican gerrymanders.
TX-The 1990's map was actually pretty fair in a non-partisin way in terms redistricting. The current map most of the gerrymandering is in districts in the Southern panhandle I think by the Mexican border.
FL-Well the current map is better than the 2000's map.
GA-Where do the Dems actually gain seats without gerrymandering? Most of the population of the state is in Atlanta where Dem Districts are already present.
CA-See Georgia above but in reverse for the GOP where can they gain seats in CA?
MI-Well having to draw VRA districts in the city of Detroit where the population is shrinking screws that map up.I will add though non-gerrymandering would probably put Gary Peters old distict(the 9th district) back onto the map though. Amash and Trott/Bentevolio districts are light to moderate gerrymanders.
VA-The Republicans probably protected Comstock/Wolf district but that's it. It made Conolly's district not competitive for Republicans though.
Ohio, PA, and NC are gerrymander messes though.
