Mississippi wants to redistrict, now that the Supreme Court has declared that racist districts are no longer legal. But it was tied up in an appeal relating to its earlier map. No more! A unanimous panel of the Fifth Circuit vacated the district court order and sent it back.

Basic math:

Mississippi is 36-37% black. If all 4 districts go to white Republicans, they are being screwed out of their vote and representation.
or,
Trump won Mississippi with 60% of the vote. If all 4 districts go to Republicans, 40% of Mississippi is getting screwed out of its representation.

Repeat for every other red states trying to eliminate all Democrat districts by redistricting.

Republicans are screwing over tens of millions of Americans. Period.

Why are you treating black people as a monolith? You can say it is hurting democrats unfairly if you want, just like in the Northeast where Republicans make up a big percentage but get zero representation. But arguing based on race is wrong and treats race as monolithic, which is exactly the reason for the SCOTUS decision.

So you support proportional representation...excellent, please ask your GOP representatives to vote for it on the House floor.

Saw someone had AI do maps with rules of trying to keep cities and counties together.

Ended up 241R-194D with 33 competitive seats. I didn't add up for the breakdown of the competitive seats. Main changes were Texas and Florida had more Democrats and California and Illinois had more Republicans.

New poll exactly what we can expect. Like Republican, Democrats favor eliminating majority minority districts if it would produce more seats for Democrats.

The proposed map that the Virginia Supreme Court threw out, did it keep the VRA districts?

What does a ban on gerrymandering look like? You can't just say proportional representation, which only makes sense when you are close to 50-50.
What state is the ideal here? Iowa seems like it could go from 4-0 to 0-4 at any time. Is it Virginia, California, Colorado, or is there a plan that has not been implemented which is ideal?
I can see groups of states pairing off to do this without a federal law, like Cal & NY vs Tex and Fla. Mary vs Ala. Geo vs NJ.
