generic one posted:I haven’t seen any specifics, but FWIW, since the data won’t be delivered until September 30th, it’s possible that means courts have to get involved, just due to the quick turnaround. Well das not good. You'd want to avoid getting the courts involved after the stuffing Mitch gave it.

The hilarious thing is that former GOP Representative and convicted felon Michael Grimm who just recently got out of prison for tax fraud and is considering running for his old district is in the GOP district most likely to be unaffected by redistricting. While "rising star" and only female millennial GOP Representative Elise Stefanik is in one of the districts most likely to merge with another GOP district or get more Democratic.

It really depends on the state. On average I'd say they're better than the SCOTUS, so at least there's that. But some states like Texas have partisan elections for judges so you can imagine how their bench looks. Seph fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Apr 26, 2021 |

Again, it would be great for Congress to expand the number of members it has. Massachusetts gained 7 percent in population and will not gain a representative. There is no reason to keep the cap at 435 anymore.

There is no reason to keep the cap at 435 anymore. Expanding the House would also have the added bonus of diluting the Senate's impact on the electoral college. Each state gets one EC vote per representative and senator, so small states with two senators and one rep are disproportionately represented in the electoral college. For example, if we doubled the number of total representatives in the House, California would go from 55 electoral votes to 108 (a 96% increase), while a state like Wyoming or North Dakota would go from 3 to 4 EC votes (a 33% increase). It would make the EC way more representative (though still dumb compared to the popular vote). Seph fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Apr 26, 2021 |
