Ohio has a non-partisan, or at least bipartisan method of districting starting in 2020. Programmers would make the program. Perhaps a supermajority of elected officials would have to agree based on expert opinion.
Making imaginary barriers does not make the process impossible.
Well, it took an entire 15 seconds of painstaking effort to dig this out, but the Dems got 51.2% of the vote to the Reps 46.4%. 10-8 is a pretty reasonable result.
When [Martin O’Malley]was governor of Maryland, he worked hard to draw congressional districts that would favor Democrats and squeeze out Republicans. Now, he wants the Supreme Court to scrap his map and crack down on partisan gerrymandering.
The justices this week heard a [lawsuit filed by Maryland Republicans] that alleges they were disenfranchised when Democrats, under O’Malley, re-drew congressional districts after the 2010 election in a way that made it virtually impossible for a long-serving House Republican to win re-election.
There was a ruling on Ohio which is why there is a thread about Ohio.
I get your desire to deflect and try to play partisan games with it, and no doubt when there is a ruling about Maryland there will be a thread about it.
This partisan kvetching about Maryland doesn’t make sense until there’s actually something to discuss.
And liberals don’t give a ■■■■ when it’s their side doing it. CITM has made multiple threads about the republican gerrymandering cases, but not one about Maryland. No liberal has decried the gerrymandering by their own. Not one.
You’re saying that the ex-governor, out of office nearly 5 years and now a visiting professor, needs to join an ongoing lawsuit for his words to mean something? I hope you hold that bar so high for everyone.
