It would be too funny if Texas had to roll back their changes and California was able to keep their changes made in response to Texas’.
California’s law was written so that it would only be used if Texas did gerrymander their districts. Last I read.
Last I read I think that provision was struck before the vote since Texas had already moved ahead? I’m not sure though. It would be very funny if due to the timing, California can redistrict anyway.
I dont want any of it. Gerrymandering is bullshit no matter who does it. I’m begrudgingly okay with California doing it to rebalance the scales after Texas’ open voter suppression, but I would much rather it be illegal for everyone, always, everywhere.
It is illegal. So are monopolies. Laws are only as meaningful as they are enforced.
Gerrymandering is not actually illegal. SCOTUS has said only gerrymandering that specifically disenfranchises based on race is illegal due to specific laws passed to protect against that exact thing. Otherwise, it’s fair game. And much more recently, they even relaxed the racial protections, because they’re fucking corrupt.
Sounds like they rejected it based on racial discrimination, but the Supreme Court may end that precedent soon. I guess it will still be beneficial if the ruling holds until the next election.
Well this SCOTUS is pretty tolerant of discrimination as long as it isn’t against corporations.
