@BasedMikeLee@DineshDSouza I borrowed her book from the library. She Re-litigated the election. Joe was great, Trump is a criminal, and she was qualified. Skipped right over the fact that she never won a single Prinary Delegate.
@JaxImperator Apologize for what? Did people who supported Biden apologize? Or Obama who supported the murderer Castro and have $2 billion in cash to Iran!
@HenryBushnell Why did it take until the 6 th paragraph to learn of the venue with the available tickets? 60 years ago the nuns taught us that WHERE is a critical part of story telling. Up your game man!
@SNYGiants@gtconway3d Memo to Abdul Carter; it’s none of your business what your teammate does on his own time. And I’ll go out on a limb and guess you were an Obama supporter, well, IMO, he did more to destroy America than any other president in my lifetime.
@its_Lexieroy@JillRTeamXRP All of the prosecutions from @SenAdamSchiff ‘s tenure as US Attorney should be reviewed. Based on his challenges to tell the truth, I wonder how many were convicted without a fair trial.
@TaraSetmayer@Giants@JaxsonDart In contrast, you are aligned with a political ideology that made our bordens unsafe, allows men to go into girls locker rooms and kills babies.
Trump is not unhinged, he’s not a criminal - Biden is BTW, and our democracy is just fine. And I don’t believe Trump is a racist.
The U.S. Supreme Court has not abolished all gerrymandering, but it has ruled that racial gerrymandering — drawing districts predominantly based on race without sufficient constitutional justification — can violate the Constitution and the Voting Rights Act.
Under current law, congressional districts are generally supposed to be drawn using these principles:
Equal population (“one person, one vote”) - Districts must contain roughly equal numbers of people under Article I and Supreme Court precedent.
Contiguity - All parts of a district should physically connect.
Compactness - Districts should avoid bizarre or sprawling shapes when possible.
Respect for political subdivisions - States often try to keep counties, cities, and towns together.
Communities of interest - Districts may group people with shared economic, cultural, geographic, or social interests.
Compliance with the Voting Rights Act - States cannot dilute minority voting power in ways that deny minorities an equal opportunity to elect candidates of choice.
The constitutional tension is that race can be considered to comply with the Voting Rights Act, but race cannot become the predominant factor overriding traditional districting principles unless the state satisfies “strict scrutiny.”
The Supreme Court has essentially said:
You cannot sort voters mainly by race for its own sake. But you also cannot weaken minority voting power in violation of federal law.
