Hey you jerk, there are more demonrats registered in the district than repubs. In regards to gerrymandering, you leftist fools are just pissed that everything is not set up to benefit you leftist fools. Gerrymandering is used by both parties to try and benefit their voting block. Get over your hate and do something beneficial for our country, LIKE MOVING TO VENEZUELA!! Demonrats have gained power in this country by lies, deceit, divisiveness, racism, illegal voting, refusing to allow verified voter i.d's, and using the big unions as their pawns to donate money for the leftist bs. They use the whores and pimps, the lamestream media, to propagandize the American people to support corrupt leftist, antiAmerican causes and the demonratic parties leaders are marxists, anti Semites, and anti Constitutionalists. I won't go on but you get my drift.

Republicans have gained power in the country through gerrymandering congressional districts yet in Pennsylvanian's heavenly gerrymandered special election for congress it looks like the Republican is going to lose. Now I know you cons think you are more popular than ever but the Supreme Court just busting gerrymandering which begs the question just how do you cons think you can hold onto the house when you can't even hold onto a special election that you dumped millions into and even had a special trip by his royal hindass where he went on for an hour telling everyone to vote for what's his face because he's almost as good looking as the orange ball of hate is...

With Gill v. Whitford, the U.S. Supreme Court has taken the most important case in decades dealing with how Americans are represented in Congress and state legislatures. The case focuses on a Wisconsin legislative map drawn in 2011 by the state's Republican leadership to give their party a significant, enduring partisan advantage ― essentially, to keep their party in power regardless of the will of the voters. By striking down the state's map, the Court could finally draw a clear line indicating that some partisan gerrymanders are so extreme and harmful to American democracy as to be unconstitutional. With 2021's redistricting looming, the stakes are high. But there is good reason to believe the Court will take a stand in favor of fair maps, and against the manipulation of district lines in a way that undermines the representation and accountability at the heart of our American democracy.

The groundbreaking Pennsylvania Supreme Court majority opinion declaring the state congressional map unconstitutionally partisan came down to six simple words in Article 1, Section 5: “Elections shall be free and equal.”

Both the Supreme Court and state Supreme Courts all over the country are redrawing maps and eliminating the gerrymandering Cons have used to wrestle away power from democrats. It's because of conservative gerrymandering that states can vote republican but nationally have a majority vote democrat for president.

You seem to imply, or even assert, that the GOP has a corner on gerrymandering. I will admit that they do have a bigger incentive to break up some of the pockets of leftist, Democrat concentration that has developed from Govt indoctrination centers and leftist "news" groups which are concentrated in heavily populated areas. Dems, included the leftist news organizations aren't even trying to hide their partisan pronouncements any longer. As one of Saul Alinsky's rules says, accuse your opponent of what you are doing.

Not an assertion... an unchallanged fact...

It was never a secret. In 2010, the conservative political strategist Karl Rove took to the Wall Street Journal and laid out a plan to win majorities in state legislatures across the country.

"He who controls redistricting can control Congress," read the subhead to Rove's column.

The plan, which its architects dubbed REDMAP for Redistricting Majority Project, hinged on the fact that states redraw their electoral maps every 10 years according to new Census data. REDMAP targeted states where just a few statehouse seats could shift the balance to Republican control in the crucial Census year of 2010.

That plan worked spectacularly. It's why today Republicans have a majority in nearly two-thirds of the country's state legislative chambers. And it's why in 2012 Democratic statehouse candidates won 51 percent of the vote in Pennsylvania, which voted for Barack Obama in the presidential election, yet those candidates ended up with only 28 percent of the seats in the legislature.
