Also, even if California does pass their maps, it just offsets Texas, but Florida and Ohio also already have their own redistricting in the works and I imagine other red states aren’t that far behind
When every red and blue state gerrymanders as hard as they can, Republicans will walk away with more seats and Dems will walk away with a bigger challenge to convince the average voter we believe in fair elections
Even worse, when every state becomes mired in district-fights, it is basically making the idea of representation hollow and pointless and eventually many states will stop participating in the fight when they can just form their own alliances and distribution of funds. It’s an end to democracy, the latest and most damaging irreversible wound against the union.
If this passes and the midterms are as fucked as I expect them to be, we will look back at the day the states started abandoning the union. And we don’t even have a better choice. This is what Trump and his people want and have forced the country’s hand and most people have ZERO idea what’s actually at stake or what’s happening with the redistricting fight.
