    State & federal courts have now ruled against GOP gerrymandering in

    PA, WI, NC, TX, FL, AL & VA




    7.

    Some are to redistrict within the month (i dont know how that happens) and with those redistricting US House seats are expected to switch
    For instance (D) could pick up 2-3 seats in each state .
    238-193 w/ 4 vacancies (1/16/18)

    all 7 are red state governments

    This might get interesting

    Aside from it being just a terrible thing to do, this was always the problem with gerrymandering. These things tend to end suddenly, and nationally. The rollback needs to be fast and brutal so no one ever attempts to gerrymander their way to power again.

    of course they will - gerrymander is the political pendulum.
    I read that somewhere

    the significance of the correction is a change in direction in the country.
    Recent (R) gerrymander is the product of what/when LBJ said his signature "handed (R) a generation ... "
    As LBJ Great Society ended Roosevelt's New Deal, Trumps excess' are closing the Reagan Revolution

    In 30-40 years there will be another call for the end of the redistricting of the 2020's

    Wow! Republican Party, you guys just lost Alito in a gerrymandering case. ALITO!

    That's a pretty good sign that your lawyers should crawl into a hole and ponder what they've decided to do with their lives.

    Democrats just flipped Missouri's House district 97,

    a seat that voted for Donald Trump by a 28 point margin (a 31% swing) tonight.

    They also shifted #MO129 by 25%, #MO39 by 18%,

    and #MO144 likely by 40-50%
    .

    Missouri special swing h/t @mcimaps
    Large swings as in WI-SD10 & AD58 pose a question:

    how is it we see such large swings yet Trump approval is 80% among Reps?

    Low R turnout despite high app?

    Massive D turnout?

    These are deep R districts. D won West Bend WI normally R+25 & up.

    Judge ordered Kris Kobach to tell Kansas voters they were eligible to vote before election day.

    He said he did.

    But he didn't.

    Now he's being held in contempt of court.
