[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Stop talking about other states. No one cares if you're a MD resident. [b]Because other states do something wrong means you have the green light to do the same thing wrong too.[/b] MD districts are the most insane maps I've ever seen.[/quote] I disagree with the bolded. Because Republican-led states have engaged in severe gerrymandering, they have gained an advantage in Congress. The choice left to Democrats was to either to unilaterally disarm and let Republicans continue their advantage or to engage in the same behavior. Democrats in Maryland, Illinois, and New York have chosen to copy Republican tactics. At the same time, Congressional Democrats support a federal anti-gerrymandering law. Republicans oppose such a law. Therefore, if you want sane maps, you should support the Democrats' efforts. [/quote]
