@VelvetDuchess It's State-level, not Federal, but you're right that it should be outlawed, nonetheless.
@danieldeaseweitzelwalker @VelvetDuchess Am I misremembering this or wasn't there even a COURT that allowed it? 🤬
@VelvetDuchess @lovesdaryl Each state has to have laws against gerrymandering. The manipulation of district within a given state is by definition a state issue, as you can't gerrymander across state lines. If you could, that would be Federal jurisdiction. It's why the pot shops in Cali just laughed at the drug feds - they didn't sell pot across state lines and it's legal to sell it in Cali, and is therefore not a crime and not actionable. They shut them down - they pop up again, legally.
@danieldeaseweitzelwalker @VelvetDuchess But DeSantis' mind blowing absolute GALL to gerrymander away a whole majority Black, majority Dem DISTRICT and add the parts to majority white, Republican leaning districts and then claim that wasn't a partisan move! I am so sick of their bs, and they keep getting away with it.
@lovesdaryl @VelvetDuchess I should be clear: Gerrymandering is just another way to cheat their way to keeping themselves in, naturally.
