      The law of "unintended consequence", at least for President Trump

      I have hear that after all the terrible map re-drawing (on both sides), the Democrats currently will have a gain of 1.

        It'll escalate on both sides till the courts do something about it. Which I hope they do. It's not as if the Dems checkmated the GOP with that strategy in CA and VA.

          Unfortunately, the VA election doesn’t hit VA Constitutional Muster.

            His rigged election sore loser playbook is really quite unoriginal by now.

              Independents and Republicans make up 49% of the electorate in Virginia. I guess democracy dies in Virginia.

              Because of yesterday's referendum, they will have 9% of the congressional representation.

              Learing from Massachusetts, I guess.

              I just saw that a Virginia circuit court has ruled that the vote to redistrict in unconstitutional and issued an injunction blocking the certification.

                What I don’t understand is how no one in the White House (and let’s not forget this was a White House initiative) figured this would just be something they could do with Texas, NC, and a handful of gop-controlled states and that the Dems wouldn’t retaliate.

                  It was the White House’s strategy in Texas and a few other states. It just backfired on them since the Dems can obviously do it too.

                    Republicans are 38% of registered voters in Texas. The new map could give them 30 of 38 seats (79%). Democracy is dieing everywhere.

                      I'm aware, and it doesn't defeat my point. I've seen a lot of chest pounding online from the usual suspects over this, but it's not a checkmate, and it'll continue to escalate until the courts do something about it. Disenfranchising voters with squigly lines on a map is probably not constitutional.

                        We should swap news feeds for a day. I’m seeing lots of hand-wringing from the usual suspects who don’t mention why this was done in CA and VA and had nothing to say when Texas did this but are now suddenly worried about democracy.
