GOP Doing All It Can To Keep Pennsylvania's Gerrymandered Congressional Map

In this case if you run the numbers the republicans still have a distracting advantage, The will most likely get a smaller share of wins than their percentage of the vote, Just not as ludicrously as they do now.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - You may want to take a look at the other 49 states ... starting with Illinois. I don't defend the extreme gerrymandering of the Republicans ... but one is sticking one's head in the sand ... or one's ass ... if one thinks there isn't similar gerrymandering on the other side of the coin.

LTC (Join to see) - Can you find a case as extreme/ The scumbags were stopped by the PA Constitution and that does not apply to the other states.
I hope this type of action spreads to all states, but it not s doing so does not mean that applying it in PA is wrong

Thankfully I live in a state where gerrymandering for federal elections is impossible So that takes one state of your lost, a couple of states out west are like that also.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - Why should I find a case this extreme? You are pogo-sticking over mouse droppings ... and putting forth a "yours is worse than mine" argument. Both parties gerrymander. Both parties defend that which they have gerrymandered. The Republican argument here is that the U.S. Constitution trumps the PA state constitution ... something with which I agree on the surface. Personally though, I think the Republicans are going to lose ... not because the PA state constitution trumps the U.S. Constitution ... but because Republicans egregiously abused their power. My point was and remains that Democrats have done likewise ... and have as staunchly defended their actions. One has to be blindly partisan to believe otherwise.

LTC (Join to see) - Why should you find this one extreme? Look at PA district 7 that the legislature pulled out of their rears.

LTC (Join to see) - The State legislature has proven that they are incapable of honesty doing their job within PA law. The argument they are using is one that even the most extreme conservative on the US SC court has already rejected.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - And may well it reject again. You must not comprehend. I've freely acknowledged that the gerrymandering was extreme. My only point, that you refuse, apparently to acknowledge, is that there is nothing new in this. Democrats gerrymander their little butts off every chance they have ... and defend it to the death as well. My criticism of you and your posts is that you present it as a purely Republican sin ... and it is not. You are a fool if you think otherwise.

LTC (Join to see) - i do recognize that there in nothing new in this, other that the openness of the corruption and the pride shown in the corruption and the willingness of so many defend the corruption, by so many

Every case of gerrymandering should be slapped down, but usually proving it is hard, but in PA they were blatant about it that they ran out of excuses and can make a denial tht is not laughable

It is a good first step hopefully there are many more like it

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - I've acknowledged the Republican's abuse of power. As I specifically stated in another post ... " I think the Republicans are going to lose ... not because the PA state constitution trumps the U.S. Constitution ... but because Republicans egregiously abused their power." Plenty more "egregious" instances to go ... some Republican, some Democrat.
