Gerrymandering brought to the forefront

Texas Legislators, who didn’t want to vote on redistricting, ironically hid in one of the many blue states that had been gerrymandered by Democrats for years. The Illinois electoral map is so bizarrely carved up that even fired late-night host Colbert described one congressional seat,  District 13, as looking like a scorpion stinger.

By viewing Illinois’ 2024 map, area-wise, between 90-95% is in red for Republican. However, Harris won the popular vote by 11% (3,062,863 to 2,449,079). That’s 54.37% to 43.47% of the vote. But, due to gerrymandering, the Democrats won 14 congressional district seats compared to losing only three seats to Republicans.

Illinois is only one example of these procedures and bias. Currently the Mayor of Los Angeles is up in arms because ICE representatives are arresting the worst of the illegals that flooded into the country under Biden. Mayor Bass and state officials are losing long-time California residents who are leaving the tax-pit state in droves. The Department of Homeland Security estimates that 2.6 million illegals reside in California.
