Democracy is effectively nullified because gerrymanders have become so effective that elections are no longer representative. But we have ways to measure it now and the courts are responding. And we have bipartisan support for #FairMaps #UnrigTheSystem https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/09/06/us/politics/prominent-republicans-urge-supreme-court-to-end-gerrymandering.html?referer=https://www.google.com/ …pic.twitter.com/DdgwXdXoqo
The Supreme Court has a Republican and Democratic gerrymander to evaluate at the same time. Both sides are guilty of this practice. And politicians aren’t going to fix the problem. - Paul Smith at #UnrigTheSystempic.twitter.com/oVmknjREEN
As Paul said before #SCOTUS in October, the courts “are the only institution in the United States that can solve this problem, just as democracy is about to get worse because #gerrymandering is getting so much worse.” #FairMaps #UnrigTheSystemhttps://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/the-supreme-courts-gerrymandering-case-and-strategies-for-winning-justice-kennedys-vote …
It’s clear that partisan gerrymandering continues to worsen decade by decade, and the result is voters are becoming voiceless in the political process. That is not democracy. #UnrigTheSystem
We do need a simpler approach, unfortunately I don't think the county district idea would solve this because the representatives can't be matched to county since counties vary wildly in population.
I'm terrified the Supreme Court is going to back the shit-show that is GOP gerrymandering. District maps SHOULD BE decided by a bipartisan non-political body - if such a thing exists
Democracy is nullified because not enough Americans vote, especially in the primaries. If more people voted in the primaries, fewer extremists would be elected and the central political tendencies of most Americans would show up in office. #vote #Vote4Congress #voteamerica
The GOP cheats
And Gorsuch will arrest all change, since that’s why he’s there, to assure GOP must never yield any power and so Democracy is dead.
Some states have been responding 2 gerrymandering & working 2 correct the imbalance. We need to push 4 that as well as the citizens united corruption. Buying politicians is not democracy & needs to end. We also need 2 push 4 paper ballots.
