    How are things progressing with getting rid of the GERRYMANDERED majority minority districts? I am hearing you correctly when you say those districts aren't a problem?

    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.

    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.


    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.”

    California is one of the states that offered to have the districts drawn by neutral algorithms. The others are also Dem states.

    But they haven't which is the point. Nothing prevents them from doing it. They won't pull the trigger as long as they have an "independent" commission with a DNC supermajority on it.
