Gerrymander difference
It used to be that every 10 years both national parties could gerrymander. The winning party had therefore an advantage for 10 years. That all changed in the last year with Trump’s urging and Texas taking the initiative. The response of California and Virginia was to ask its citizens to vote on this issue and it swung things to the left. Now the U.S. Supreme Court and the Virginia Supreme Court have worked to put it all back to the current state legislators and not the citizens of each state.
After the swings left and now right in the state mid-term gerrymander activities, a pattern
has emerged. Democrats go to you and me as citizens to vote and to guide them. Republicans go to their state legislators and biased judges and tell them how to vote, mimicking the president. In Virginia’s case, it led to overriding the popular vote.
Trump, I think, is worried that he won’t be able to cancel the mid-tern elections due to the war, and that he can’t dismantle fair elections enough by November to win. That’s what this is all about. If your vote doesn’t happen or doesn’t count … he wins. We all have a big responsibility this November to vote in big numbers and prove that we the people still have the power to make change. It worked in Hungary.
