you already lied.I still won't lie just to make a bully happy.
Republicans use redistricting to get citizens of similar interests, jobs, economic reasons to be in the same district.

That's accurate. It's also not the whole story, but neither would it be for Democrats.you already lied.
To show i'm doing my due diligence and trying to find out answers to your questions. Perhaps it has to do with a fairly recent Supreme Court Case?you already lied.
Not that old, but i'm a member of the Republican Party and get to claim the "we". I disagree.
Well the United States Supreme Court ruling i posted earlier is the definitive ruling on reapportionment and redistricting in the State of Texas and probably throughout the United States and will be used as a road map in future redistricting after the 2020 census. Due to God's impeccable sense of timing it will now be a 6-3 ruling.if you're doing diligence, then you'd have looked at the 2011 map. and you clearly haven't.

If you'd like to link something about 2011 map i'll give it a look over, but i'm not good at playing little guessing games.
Thank you.Yet you guess God's mind, how quaint. That's your pride showing.
Thank you.
I'm working on it, it ain't easy.You're welcome, I wouldn't want you to burn in hell for basing your existence on one of the seven deadly sins.

It could be done by computer based on stringent rules of fairness nation wide, but please do not worry about losing the audience here. It is a feature of the outsider, those in this case not raised in constitutional nationalism that patriotically blinds from birth, to be able to pose a more objective assessment of a foreign culture. Most importantly it is very valuable. In addition to your royalty genuflection in merry old England, you are also obsessively focused on the upper class. Probably the two are connected.Why do you make such a fetish of the Constitution? You do realise it was drawn up by flawed human beings, right? It's not the direct word of God. I feel like I'm risking losing the audience here, because the over-veneration of that document, and those who wrote it, seems to apply across the US political divide, but I really don't get it, myself - it seems a direct equivalent of the veneration of the Royal Family here, yet I thought you lot fought a revolution to get rid of that kind of deference?
I've seen conservatives on here (maybe it was you?) speak dismissively that 'Democrats can't get elected in the system as it is so they want to change the system to suit them'. Yet surely that logic is precisely the reason why the US came into existence in the first place!
A better system would be to have non-political committees do it, as other democracies do. Still possible to become partisan, but better than having it be fundamentally a political process by design.
What this means that in 2020, a Census year, State legislatures are going to be making new districts to accommodate the changes in population. This is a very good thing for Republicans and conservatives and a bad thing for Democrats.

I call them as i see them, maybe your perspective is skewed.Nobody said the sky fairies appointed straight and narrow would be, now if you can move on to the lies you've been spreading, that would be nice.
You're absolutely right, let's have a do over!What red tsunami? This election was rife with widespread voter fraud, how could you possibly trust all of these supposed Republican votes?
Very good point Moon. There are always people that attempt to game the system, to change rules and procedures to help them either financially or enrich them in power. The best way to defend against those attempts is to make sure the laws work as fairly as they can for every citizen and are not changed arbitrarily, but though the proper legal steps.You know that the Moses brought the law and as is the case with all Prophets of God, the message becomes corrupted, mechanical. So Jesus came to break the notion that salvation could be had by obedience. And here you are worshiping the law as a means to salvation. Salvation is to be had by forgiveness. Forgive the Democrats and you can free yourself from the sins you were made to fear and to feel you committed. We have all been forgiven by God. All we need to do is feel it. The enemy is ego pride. The more the self is abandoned the closer we come to the kingdom of heaven. If you don't believe in God consider this law to be written into human nature because there is no real difference between being created in the image of God or creating God in our image, what we can become.
Remember that law is only a human attempt to govern and hopefully justly, but it is the first tool the cunning use to their ego advantage. Who is the better person, the one who seeks to make the laws work justly or the one who seeks power and control via their manipulation? Do you seek control which implies fear or to lift people up, which implies empathy and love.
I call them as i see them, maybe your perspective is skewed.
Having been born and raised in Southern California and having made numerous trips to Las Vegas even during those dreadful *55 mph* days i have many fine memories of things that happened on good ole Zzyzx Road close to the 15. Thank you for those fine memories.Now that you are back in full troll mode you have become annoying again.
I think that one of the unintended consequences of the current law as it in many states is to allow state legislatures to gerrymander the other party out of equal representation by vote. A state might vote Democratic by tradition allowing Democrats to rig districts so that even if the population swings to favor Republicans thus preventing them from having that swing show up in the legislature. With time money and intention, time here being the point, a system can gradually ossify in a way that is counter to the will of the people. I would call that an unintended consequence and one that should be fixed.Very good point Moon.

The best way to defend against those attempts is to make sure the laws work as fairly as they can for every citizen and are not changed arbitrarily, but though the proper legal steps.
Never forget the law of unintended consequences.

The USSC may have ruled that it didn't discriminate based on race, you can't tell me that these lines weren't drawn to dilute the political power of more than 1 million residents of Travis county. In other words, you're a liar.

This fascist shitbag would have been hailing Plessy v. Ferguson back in 1896.Just because something is legal, as per the USSC or say any other foreign government's highest courts, does not make it moral or ethical. There have been a lot of things legal in recent history that were very immoral or unethical. This is something that Trumpers like Taj don't get, they have few actual morals, it's only about power and suppression.
Mr. Pickhole , If you know anything about cartography you would notice that the blanks maps you provide because their unique shapes are in no way, shape matter or form the areas that people actually live. No roads are shown, no highways, no rivers or creeks no bluffs or hills or other physical features, they also don't show political boundaries such as cities, neighborhoods , townships or unincorporated areas. No jobs or businesses, no rural, suburban, rural/urban or how citizens live. Many of the counties are simple rectangles that have no relationship to the people that live inside them. Do you really think that the peoples districts should be the same? You, are ignorant of what you speak, but it was a spiffy cut and paste.The USSC may have ruled that it didn't discriminate based on race, you can't tell me that these lines weren't drawn to dilute the political power of more than 1 million residents of Travis county. In other words, you're a liar.
