Lot of bleating from Repugnicans on the gerrymander but it is worthwhile remembering that the Dems have repeatedly put forward legislation to ban gerrymanders only to have it blocked by the Reps at each turn. They are ready to pass this legislation now if the other side agrees.
I have to admit, I kinda love this from the Dems. The GOP have essentially leaned into the “we go high, when they go low” mantra, by assuming that Dems wouldn’t gerrymander the actual fuck out of a state; but here we have it. Still needs to pass the state supreme court, though.
NGL, it does feel a bit like the start of an electoral arms race though…
Any excuse to play this
