Inmate Central, where civil and family-friendly discourse about off-audio topics (other than religion and politics) is welcome.

Gerrymandering should be strictly verboten.

No matter which party does it. The small town my wife and I used to live in was gerrymandered after the 2010 mid-terms. It was heavily Democratic at the time, some of the Democrats were added to a safe Democrat seat in order to waste those votes. The rest were parceled out to safe Republican districts where the votes wouldn't matter.
After 2010, the Republicans redrew the districts in a way that guarantees GOP control of the state legislature pretty much for good. Votes in rural counties count for more than votes in cities.
This is just another way we think we're a free country but really aren't. When politicians get to tailor their own constituencies, our elections are a fraud.
Supreme Court says it's A-OK, is getting ready to strip state courts of the power to redraw maps.




The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
