Good to see democrats finally fighting.
I’m enjoying how pathetic President Pedo is to Newsom.
It’s about time a Democrat discovered their spine.
Huh. Calvert has a problem with redistributing. Then he should support, say, the John Lewis voting rights act and ban gerrymandering across the entire country.
Right?
Go gettem Gavin
>”Election Rigging Response Act”
Grabbing the narrative by the throat.
Let’s do this.
This doesn’t erase Newsom’s transgressions, but the Democrats really needed an attack dog, which is fine by me.
Really should combine this with starting an amendment to update the number of house seats to be more proportionate, remove house districts, an make them assigned proportionately via ranked choice voting. Call it the ‘ If you don’t want us to Gerrymander, No-One can Gerrymander Act”.
Like sure, he wants to be president and he’s very slick, but maybe he actually cares underneath all the politician veneer?
