But hey, the Pa Supreme Court can do what they want. The Pa legislature will remain RED.

However… the real dpstery isn’t in that post but from the retorts from the coal mine.

I wish I could post the map in the following that shows the shape of Jerry Nadler's new district, it's absolutely bizarre. It sounds like the New York politicians succeeded in doing something that the Democratic Pennsylvania Supreme Court will attempt to imitate -- see excerpt from article below.
New York’s Democratic Jerrymander
Democrats draw a map that gives them an edge in 85% of House seats.
Gerrymandering is an old enough practice that it was named for a Founding Father, Elbridge Gerry, but henceforth in New York it should be spelled jerrymander. See nearby the district that Democrats in Albany have staked out for Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler. Your first instinct might be to grab the cartographer and do a field sobriety test.
But Democrats didn’t draw loopy lines by accident. They did it with partisan malice aforethought. New York is losing a House seat, so it will have 26 districts next year. Today Republicans hold eight. Under the lines Democrats are proposing, the GOP would have the advantage in only four seats, or 15%. New York is a blue state, but not that blue: President Trump won 38% of the vote in 2020.

New York is a blue state, but not that blue: President Trump won 38% of the vote in 2020.
What a pose....New York’s maps were supposed to be drawn by an independent commission, a good-government reform that voters approved in 2014, with hopes of taking politics out of an inherently political process. But the commission deadlocked and offered two competing plans.
Nonetheless, the map that Democratic commissioners backed, according to one redistricting analyst, left as many as nine House seats competitive for the GOP. Nine of 26 is 35%, which is in the ballpark of Mr. Trump’s vote share. Albany could have accepted that plan.
Yet apparently Democrats only want “fair” districts when such maps work in their favor. So once the commission deadlocked, state lawmakers seized the opportunity to dump its work and redraw the map themselves to build in a bigger advantage for their party.
The rough barbell shape of Mr. Nadler’s district, connecting Jewish areas of Manhattan and Brooklyn, isn’t new. But the state Legislature’s map contorts it like a snake. Why? So that the GOP 11th District, anchored in Staten Island, can sweep north to include liberal Park Slope, Brooklyn. In 2020 Mr. Trump won the 11th District by 11 points, while Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis beat an incumbent, Democrat Max Rose, 53% to 47%. Mr. Rose is running in 2022 to retake his old seat, and the new progressive Park Slope voters could be enough to flip that margin.
The Albany plan makes similar moves upstate and on Long Island to erode Republican chances and shore up the Democratic advantage. Don’t expect to hear loud complaints from Mr. Holder and company, or for that matter from all the good-government poseurs in the media.
The congressional jerrymander could cost Republicans as many as four or five House seats, which might be the difference that helps Democrats keep their majority in 2022. Redistricting was expected to cost Democrats several seats nationwide this year, but aggressive Democratic gerrymanders in California, Illinois, New Jersey and elsewhere mean they may break even nationwide or even gain a slight edge.

There's some irony here. A Democratic president and Democratic controlled House and Senate absolutely have to get a federal law passed before they lose power so we can have fair elections, even though it will take getting rid of the filibuster to do that. House Democrats are unanimously of this opinion, and all but 2 Democratic Senators agree too. They say this has to be done or Republicans will use whatever weapons they can, the most lethal being the gerrymander, to make the USA an authoritarian state. Minorities will be disenfranchised, the Republicans are all racists.
What a sham. Compare to the Republican Party. Only six Republican Senators voted last year to overturn the presidential election results in Arizona or Pennsylvania.
OK, admittedly 141 members of the House voted the wrong way, which kind of blows a hole in my argument. But only a very small hole, like a slow leak in a tire. Originally Posted by Tiny

Thankfully good Senators like Joe Manchin, Krysten Sinema, Mitt Romney, Pat Toomey, Richard Burr, Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Ben Sasse will hold firm and protect our Democracy. Originally Posted by Tiny
