Partisan Gerrymandering in the U.S. is "Out of Hand" and Suing for Being Denied the Right to Vote Should Be Considered.
It's gotten out of hand. In Texas, when the Republicans gained control of the legislature, they decided they would try to gerrymander the Democratic Party out of existence to the extent that they could. They redrew the districts with as many Republican performance districts as they could to maximize the opportunities of Republicans (so that) even though they were not the majority of the residents of those districts they would end up with an overall majority control of those districts. Pennsylvania did the very same thing. The Republicans there implemented a redistricting plan that attempted to gerrymander to the maximum extent possible in a way that maximized the opportunities of Republicans. And in Georgia, that was controlled by the Democrats, the Democrats did the very same thing. They enacted plans that tried to minimize the impact of Republican voters and they did it in a host of ways. If you had to lose a district, it would be a Republican district or seat. They reintroduced multi-member districts as a way of keeping a single member district from electing a Republican. Laughlin McDonald.
Pro-Gerrymandering Legislators Seek Retaliation Against Florida Supreme Court
The sudden charge by State House Speaker Dean Cannon and other legislators to drastically reform Florida’s Supreme Court is a poorly disguised attempt at retaliation towards the judicial branch. The Florida Supreme Court’s disqualification of Amendment 7 from the 2010 ballot made it a target for legislators who seek to protect gerrymandering and derail the Fair Districts amendments, approved by over 62% of voters.
