I found (and did a little tweaking on) the above graphic online. I have no idea who made it but I thought it was a pretty good explanation of the practice of gerrymandering districts so the gerrymanderers' party gets more representation than they probably should.
Gerrymandering is, of course, an ancient tradition in any city, township, state (whatever) that elects anyone with a party affiliation. It's not new. What is new though is for the gerrymandering folks are doing to not try to pretend they're doing something other than what they unreservedly are. There are now those within the Texas G.O.P. who are practically bragging about doing it.
Gavin Newsom says if they do it there, he'll do it in California and gain even more seats for Democrats. It's fighting fire with fire…and I wish we could elect leaders in this country without fire. That wasn't the idea behind America.
