[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain how Maryland has the most insane freakshow Congressional District maps in probably the entire country? How did they get that way?  How is it legal?   I don't even think Jackson Pollack could come up with patterns like the ones that make up MD Congressional Districts. What is the history behind them?[/quote]

You haven't seen Texas and Ohio, I take it?

Why is gerrmandering bad for the Dems, but perfectly fine for the GOP? We should end ALL gerrymandering, but if the GOP is going to do it, then the Dems should be allowed to as well.[/quote]

I don't give a crap about Texas.  I live in the DMV...Dems go on and on about voter rights an gerrymandering, yet they have one of the most epic freakshows in the entire country right in these parts in MD.  Talk about hypocrisy.  How can you possibly stand for voters rights and stand against gerrymandering when you yourself are one of the worst offenders in the entire country?  And based on the reading I've done, MD's freakish mutant districts that look like metastisizing cancers have been around a lot longer than most other states' gerrymandered districts.  Dems really taught everyone else how to do it base in what they did in MD.[/quote]

Oh. So you mostly wanted to rant. Okay. And no, this didn’t start with the Dems. If the Dems were going to start a trend that would actually be replicated by Republicans, it would be much more likely to start with something like strengthening voting rights. [/quote]
