The record shows that both parties gerrymander and that both parties took cases to the SCOTUS challenging political-based gerrymandering.
I didnât like the SCOTUS ruling but we will have to live with it. Notable it was the conservative justices that voted to preserve political gerrymandering.
A ruling the other way would have restricted political gerrymander everywhere and for both parties. This is the outcome I desired.
What was the lie?
when democrats do it, is it called gerryPERSONdering?

Hey, Iâve NEVER said only one side or the other does it. I will say that if one doesnât have a problem with their favorite side doing it, then donât get their panties in a bunch when the other side does it as well.
Racism.
The most developed D vs R case was from Wisconsin (Gill v Whitford)
And it was based on political gerrymandering not race.
Interesting to think that if political gerrymandering was outlawed, it could clarify and disrupt racial gerrymandering. Perhaps with some racially described districts being challenged as politicaly described.

FYI, HR-1 was introduced by Democrats in 2019. Part of HR-1 was to combat partisan gerrymandering by introducing independent commissions to draw district lines
It passed the House with virtually no Republican votes and was blocked by Republican Senate.

Dems have done a masterful job of convincing the world that everything republicans do is because they are racists.

Maybe so.
But if that is the lie perhaps your title should be changed from:
âOnly Republicans Gerrymanderâ
That title disguises your point.
I see now, changing the title would make your linked article less relevant to the real lie you are contesting.
Both parties gerrymander, and always have.
The endless whining about âhypocrisyâ when one side does it while complaining when the other side does goes both ways.

Oh no, when dems do it it is âgiving minorities a voiceâ. Republicans are just racists.
Is race even a major component of the overall gerrymandering problem?
I get that is it aggravating for D to have a race card to play, and it grabs headlines, but my understanding is that gerrymandering has been implemented much broader than race dominated districts.
And with SCOTUS giving it the green light it will be fully implemented in every state where one party has control (2 of 3 branches).
Except the Orthodox JewsâŚthey donât deserve a voice. District 10 Jerry Nadel
Block by block to silent their voices.

Are Orthodox Jews a race?
Seems to me this is political, plain and simple.
