Michigan Rs email show gerrymandering plans

The black majority minority districts cheat humanity by electing people with a built in guarantee that who otherwise could not get hired to shine shoes, clean toilets, or empty trash in the Capitol with it.

Maxine Waters isn't qualified to play Aunt Esther is a remake of Sanford and Son much less represent any district in any State.

aint the republican base a pack of lame ass racists
 
Fixing gerrymandering is not difficult. Univ. of Michigan math dept provided some fair redistricting in 2010. The Repubs had no interest in that. Colleges in any state can get the job done. But the Repubs don't want it. They really loved the algorithims that gave them more power though.

One thing not mentioned here is the geographic separation that has been occurring between Democrats and Republicans in where they live. Democrats just pack urban areas. Where I live Pelosi gets over 80% of the vote. I think Barbara Lee is similar in Oakland. And this is with a lot of people voting. But it's still the same seat whether they win with 51% of the vote or over 80%. It's why some liberal publications have said if liberals really want to make a difference then move off the coast and into middle America where your vote would count.


Now this doesn't change the fact that gerrymandering occurs. But people are also choosing to self gerrymander.

So what do you disagree with Nordberg that caused you to grown this?

WASHINGTON — Newly disclosed emails show Michigan Republicans angling to give their party a dominant position through gerrymandered maps and celebrating the plight of their Democratic rivals.
Republicans in the state have denied that they sought partisan gain when they drew new legislative boundaries in 2011. But a federal lawsuit, which argues the maps are unconstitutional, has unearthed records showing Republicans intent on drawing boundaries that would help their party.

There are two districts in Michigan where gerrymandering could easily be fixed. It's the two that have a gerrymandered majority minority. Stop using race to make determinations.

The good news ..

President Trump won Michigan by the narrowest of margins in last November’s election – receiving just over 10,000 more votes than Democrat Hillary Clinton out of 4.8 million votes cast. But his fellow Republicans swept the state’s congressional districts, capturing nine of 14 seats statewide.

Gerrymandering in Michigan and across the nation are known and are being challenged in courts and by rising citizen's groups.

Trump won Michigan by a thin margin .. with Michigan being one of the worst gerrymandered states in America.

That change is coming.

The emails, disclosed in a filing on Monday, boast of concentrating “Dem garbage” into four of the five southeast Michigan districts that Democrats now control, and of packing African-Americans into a metropolitan Detroit House district. One email likened a fingerlike extension they created in one Democratic district map to an obscene gesture toward its congressman, Representative Sander M. Levin.
“Perfect. It’s giving the finger to Sandy Levin,” the author of the message wrote. “I love it.”


CAUGHT RED HANDED
 
This is Michigan. The Repubs do what they want. We had a vote on the Emergency Managers. The people voted to end it. Within a month, the Repubs reinstalled it and added rules so we could not vote on it again. The vote of the people means nothing to them. Think they will give up gerrymandering?

You're right; we're on it. Check this out.

"Voters Not Politicians’ mission is to end gerrymandering by 2018 through a citizen led ballot initiative. We have collected the required 315,654 valid signatures in 180 days, that will secure a spot in the November 6, 2018 election as a ballot measure. With a simple majority vote from the voters of Michigan, we will amend Michigan’s constitution to place an Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission in charge of redistricting, ensuring that voters will choose their politicians, not the other way around."
