SIMS: Jim Crow 2.0? The Democrats’ Cynical Racism Card to Steal the 2026 Midterms. Their tired old playbook.

May 24, 2026 Bronwyn Sims

SCOTUS ends race-based gerrymandering in the South — yet Democrats scream “Jim Crow” while New England’s total blue lockout, and even New Hampshire’s own Republican governor blocking a fair GOP map. “ You cannot say that we are all created equal… and then allow a law to sort people based upon race.” — LA Gov. … Read more

BRADLEY: The Resurrection of Governor Gerrymander

May 15, 2026 Charles Bradley

“Governor Gerrymander” was coined in 1812 by combining then-Massachusetts Governor Elbridge Gerry’s surname with the word salamander. Governor Gerrymander signed a bill that re-drew election districts within the state to favor his own political party. The two main gerrymandering strategies are: (1) Packing, which is concentrating like-minded voters into one district, and (2) Cracking, dividing … Read more

KLAR: Another Louisiana SCOTUS Ruling and an Unrestrained Dissent

May 14, 2026 John Klar

On April 29, the US Supreme Court ruled in Louisiana v. Callais that the state’s congressional voting districts constituted an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry promptly suspended congressional elections there, pending the creation of new districts. Redistricting without regard to race is expected to gain Republicans House seats in a hotly contested midterm election season. … Read more

MACDONALD: “Race” and Redistricting

May 1, 2026 Steve MacDonald

Is there a court left for the Democrats to run to after the US Supreme Court’s redistricting ruling in Louisiana v. Callais? Racially gerrymandered congressional districts are illegal. The Voting Rights Act, the very thing the Dems have used to waterboard extra seats in Congress in the name of civil rights, is now their worst … Read more

MACDONALD: Commie-Fails, Nuns, and Gerrymandering

August 17, 2025 Steve MacDonald

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

Supreme Court Tackles Complex Gerrymandering Case

April 11, 2025 John Klar

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

Weeding Out the Subverters of Democracy

July 14, 2023 Kensley Vitoria

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 to Chris Pappas on his Reelection … Sununu’s Supreme Court Draws (Of Course) Pappas-Friendly Map

May 31, 2022 Ed Mosca

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.

Democrat Party’s Bogus Claim of ‘Gerrymandering’

March 25, 2022 Op-Ed

OUR FOUNDING FATHERS wrote in our U.S. Constitution that every 10 years the majority political party of each state in the union must redistrict the boundaries of each elected state and congressional seat.

Hey, NH Democrats! Do You Condone What Your NY Brethren’s Gerrymandering?

March 11, 2022 Skip

How come NH Democrats are not calling them out this sort of thing like they do Republicans? You know, the gerrymandering. All I keep hearing is that a political operation is supposed to be non-political.

So DEMOCRATS Gerrymandering Districts is OK? Or Still Bad? Ox vs the Gored?

December 18, 2021 Skip

I couldn’t BEGIN to imagine how many bloggers have written about the Democrats who are complaining about Red States being a “Threat to Democracy” in redoing election maps when they themselves, at any opportunity, are doing the same thing.

Imagine Speaker Donald Trump Sitting Behind Biden as He Stumbles Through the State of the Union Address.

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?

New Hampshire Democrats Still Can’t Get Over Redistricting Commission Fail

September 25, 2019 Steve MacDonald

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.

The Myth of Gerrymandering

August 10, 2019 Ed Mosca

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

‘Not Our Job to Allocate Political Power’ – SCOTUS Won’t Intervene in Gerrymandering

June 27, 2019 Steve MacDonald

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.
