i think you all need to read what happened in texas it was 65% republican similar to the voting block the thing that happened in virginia is nothing reflective of the breakdown of the population, virgnia in not 90% democrat;

No U.S. state has 90% of its voters registered as Democratic or gives 90% of its vote to Democratic candidates. The highest concentration of Democratic voters is in Washington, D.C. (~75.6%) and states like Maryland (~51.7% registered), while the most Democratic-leaning states in presidential elections, including Vermont and Maryland, typically see margins of 20-30+ percentage points, not over 90%.

That's not how redistricting works. In a non-gerrymandered world, it's done by compact, geographic location. NOT to balance out political parties across the state.

That is not accurate. Compactness is only one factor in redistricting, not the only rule. Districts must also meet equal population standards, comply with the Voting Rights Act of 1965, preserve communities of interest, and avoid vote dilution.

A map can look compact and still unfairly silence large voting blocs. “One person, one vote” is about fair representation, not just neat shapes.[/quote]
