Very important as we could turn the red seat to blue and the favorite to win a Democrat, so what do republicans do when they can win legitimately? Gerrymander, cheat and steal.

(112,252 posts)I tend to post news of this nature in the state groups so that it is easier to locate and is more pertinent to the members that subscribe to those groups. It is definitely a topic that deserves attention. Welcome to DU!

(252 posts)Thanks for the welcome. I used to be here many years ago under Just(keepthemhonest) but got locked out of a work email and then never could get back in so I have just been ghosting for years here. With all the conversions of DU over the years I don't know if you can even see me there anymore.

(252 posts)They are trying for more. I am surprised they trying it though because a few states just got ordered to put their gerrymandered districts back! So we had a couple of wins in the last few months. It still has to pass the senate so we will have to fight them on this.
