What's the difference between Virginia gerrymandering and Texas gerrymandering last year after President Trump personally suggested Republican states redraw their maps to pick up as many seats as they could?
Other than VA has Democrats drawing the maps and Texas had Republicans doing it?
look at the drawing. thatll answer your question.
No, it isn’t answering the question. It’s making an argument.
It frames the situation as “Democrats trying to fix the game” and the court as a biased referee, but that’s just one biased interpretation.
It doesn’t address the main point being raised. Both parties have used redistricting to their advantage when they have the power to do so.
If the question is about consistency, the relevant comparison is a) who controls the map drawing process, b) whether the maps are being challenged in court, and c) whether the standards applied are the same across states
It simplifies that into a narrative, but it doesn’t resolve whether there’s a meaningful difference between how different states or parties handle gerrymandering.
So....no. It doesn't explain my question.
Follow up question. The injunction will be going to a higher court, the VA Supreme Court. If it over rules the injunction, which it most likely will, does that mean that VA's redistricting was NOT trying to fix the election? Will you accept the higher court's opinion as valid? If not, why?
