So comforting to know the powers that be don’t give shit what the voters think.
Which is normally the case the day after an election.

Here is your redistricting template
Every district is a square. Every corner is a right angle. Scale accordingly. No exceptions. No refunds.
GOP Group Laughs At Prospect Of Having Citizen-Led Redistricting Commissions
Let the assholes laugh. When the Democrats win statehouse majorities in 2020, they can undo the gerrymandering. If we can find enough honest judges, we can reverse gerrymandering. And if the gerrymandering is reversed/removed, then we’ll be hearing significantly fewer assholes laughing.
Here’s how Pennsylvania created a new, fair map:
On February 19, 2018, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court released a new congressional map, to take effect for the May 15, 2018, primaries.[13] The Court voted to implement the new map by a 4–3 vote.[14] The map was designed with the assistance of Stanford University law professor Nathaniel Persily.[15] The districts in the Court’s map were significantly more compact, and its map split fewer municipalities and counties than the prior Republican-drawn map.[16] While the GOP-drawn map had favored Republican candidates, the court-drawn map is expected not to favor one party over the other.[17]
They’ve attained that level of emotional development, yes. That, and they couldn’t find a grinning death’s-head emoji.
