"We can't allow Black votes to count"

In New England, any district that somehow contained a majority of Republican voters would look bizarre, and probably would not even be contiguous. I don't know where any Republican would win, unless you cobbled together some all-rural districts that looked like Rorschach inkblots. And wouldn't that be inherently unfair, to create a district for the sole purpose of making sure a Republican got elected? Isn't that what the Republipigs were bitching about in front of SCOTUS?

But aside from that, the differences are that Texas is the first state to gerrymander in the middle of a decade, without waiting for census results, and the first to not bother to ask its voters. The Republicans are so hungry for absolute power, that they couldn't wait until 2030 and sure as hell didn't want to have a voter initiative.

Yeah but you did infer all Ala. voters thought the way he did  eg "He surely  stated what all white Alabama voters were thinking!". Further, Texas is not the first state to implement mid-decade redistricting.. so dig deeper into the facts. Mid-decade redistricting is not illegal and is not covered under the Constitution , either. Further, Texas redistricting is carried out solely by their state legislatures ; there is no voter referendum process allowing voters to approve or reject the maps directly. Texas conducted mid-decade redistricting in 2003 which was upheld by the Supreme Court at that time.

How do you know?  Actually Central Mass is fairly conservative. In Ct the area around Danbury moving north to the Mass border is conservative.

Maine is conservative enought to have elected a Republican Senator.

In NY the legislature is trying to carve up Repubican areas such as StatenIsland/Bay Ridge Brooklyn, Rockland County and Suffolk County

That's my point--if the way the voters' votes will be allocated is to be changed, then the voters should be the ones who decide. What Texas did was extremely anti-democratic, which was to be expected, since they're also anti-Democratic. I didn't say it was illegal. Just grossly unethical.

As far as Alleybammer goes, well, of course not everyone there thinks the same way, but they have elected pieces of work like Tommy Tuberville and other various white nationalists and bigots. Wasn't that George Wallace's point of origin? Wasn't that where all the MLK stuff happened?

So I do believe that a majority of white Alabama voters' thoughts are reflected in the tenor and policies of those they elect. Note that my original post, above, referred to them scurrying to blot out majority-Black districts in time for the coming midterms (and ignoring the illegality of doing so). They're seizing this opportunity to essentially disenfranchise Black voters, so yeah, of course I didn't draw that "inference" from what that jar of toe jam said on the talk show; I drew it from what's happening in the Alabama legislature.

NYS legislature is changing the districts, contradicting Kevin's statement 

What statement is that, stupid Tom? Got a Tom-stat for us? Some Tom-logic?
