New, fair map:
Old, gerrymandered, electoral fraud map:

Look at how the new one mainly just follows county boundaries! And it will result in a 9-9 partisan split with a 50-50 congressional vote. Really makes Republican claims that you'd have to do horrible "gerrymandering" to achieve partisan symmetry, and that people had just gerrymandered themselves and nothing could be done about it, seem absurd.

Gone are all those horrific necks stretching from slices of blue cities to areas of hickville with slightly higher population.

Translation: Democrats always run to the courts to get their way. The court overstepped. But I am sure if this were done to democrats in the opposite direction, they would squeal

Am I supposed to care about what goes on in PA?
Nice. I hope this is done across the nation. Fair for everyone.

The legislature doesn't have unlimited authority to draw districts however it wants. It only had authority to draw them in accordance with the constitution. When it draws districts that are in violation of the constitution, the body responsible for enforcing and interpreting the constitution had the right to address the constitutional violations.

Partisan gerrymandering violates the constitution.

Me too. I have never been afraid of winning or losing in a fair fight. And I am certain that, over the long arc of history, liberalism and progressivism always will win a fair fight.
It really does seem like conservatards really do not like fairness. They abhor it. From these ridiculous Gerrymanders, to their slavish devotion to the undemocratic electoral college.
A disdain for fairness seems to be in their DNA. One wonders if they teach their children to eschew fairness.
