  1. I never could figure out the reasoning for electoral boundaries. The maps always appear that ink was spilled and that’s how they designed electoral district.

  2. We need reform in Florida -. We are a 50/50 state but our legislature is 80 % Republican . The R’s are so smart in gerrymandering . Have to hand it to them

  3. I’ve been looking to move out of New Mexico for the past several years. I’ve had my eye on Madison for many years but had ruled out Wisconsin all together because of the wrecked political system in place and the republicans don’t like people like me and my husband. Now I feel like it’s back in play. I’ll be watching to see how their election goes this fall.

  4. As a Canadian with multiple parties I just think proportional representation really needs to be a thing. Popular vote has to matter at the top level and the representatives need to be counted by votes not imaginary boxes on a map.

  5. NC got fucked here with gerrymandering because of the NC supreme court flip. Disgraceful but not unexpected in the slightest.

  6. It’ll definitely help, but gerrymandering is not the only issue when 51% of the popular vote went to Republicans in the 2022 Midterms.

  7. Good news story of the week. Except if you’re a Nazi.

  8. The GOP in Wisconsin is funneling tons of money into the Green Party to make it a formidable force in the general election.

  9. Can’t wait for Dems to be forced to stop doing it too

  10. This ought to be classified as what it is, and that is straight up liberation!

  11. Ron Johnson is a serious fing scumbag. He has been a major stalwart in trying to continue the very illegitimate agenda and narrative the GOP has used to gerrymander the districts in Wisconsin for more than a decade. Well finally that has ended. This scumbag needs to taken out of Congress. His willful lies regarding Covid 19 and the vaccine harmed many Americans. They believed him as having some type of authority as he spoke with such bravado and confidence about the “dangerous vaccine” and that it was woke and leftist propaganda that harmed so many innocent Americans who took it. Thai scumbag boils my blood.

  12. Time to substitute the word “ cheating “ for “ gerrymandering “.
