    The only politician to successfully use TikTok. Been following that guy for a while. Hope he runs for The Senate.

    I think all of those states had to submit for pre-approval of voting districts under the Voting Rights Act until the Supreme Court decided in 2013 that that requirement was obsolete. And look what happened.

    Hopefully this will end the stranglehold that the WI GOP put on the state legislature.

    Dems will abandon The Voting Rights Act the moment it isn't advantageous to them politically

    Funny... you would think all minorities would take issue with republican gerrymandering that favor the party in power and violate the basic principles of good district drawing?

    Clearly the belief of a maga republican who thinks any redistricting that keeps power is good...

    Not when equality and equity would even the playing field, right?

    There are plenty of basic principles when one retains their moral and ethical moorings.
