if you really want to see an example of Gerrymandering, let’s look at what the Democrats did during the Biden Administration
A handful of stories are lined up on my browser tabs—two dozen tops. They are links people have sent me or things I’ve tripped over that caught my internet eye (after I tripped over it). Most will end up getting closed, but a few cling bitterly to my browser, hoping for life on ‘Grok’s pages. … Read more
Louisiana has found itself repeatedly in the gerrymandering hot seat. Gerrymandering refers to efforts to favor one political party in the drawing of voting district lines, but racial prejudices – or favoritism – also can influence such actions. Louisiana’s effort to carry out judicial demands that it create a second state voting district to ensure … Read more
I have written before about the recent tendency of US Democrat Party members to act to subvert the idea of democracy in attempts to rile up citizens, cultivating and nurturing democracy in the process. Like stoking a fire, except it is not as simple as poking some embers with a stick to send up a shower of sparks.
Congratulations are in order … to Sun-King Sununu and Chris Pappas. Notwithstanding all his braggadocio, the Sun-King is actually extremely insecure. He was scared you-know-what-less that the new Congressional maps might lead to Chris Pappas deciding he had a better chance at Governor than reelection in CD-1.

Imagine how much fun it would be to see Speaker of the House Donald Trump sitting behind Biden as he stumbles through the State of the Union address?
I guess you call it keeping the dream alive. What dream? An unelected commission filled with the sorts of politically connected goons the 17th Amendment promised to end for US Senate Seats. Am 17 created more problems than it solved. So would HB706.
I have been very active on twitter opposing HB 706, the misnamed (purposefully) “Independent Redistricting Commission” and supporting the Governor’s veto. For example: I recently had a twitter skirmish with a Socialist-robot who was apoplectic that HB 706 had been vetoed. In part: To be clear, of course the GOP attempted to “gerrymander” in 2012. … Read more
US Courts mess with political power daily, so this is probably little more than a hiccup. But the US Supreme court just said it wouldn’t interfere in State level issues with gerrymandered districts. At least for today, this is not their job.
