Former President Donald Trump's administration spent years trying to add a census citizenship question as part of a secret strategy for altering the population numbers used to divide up seats in Congress and the Electoral College, internal documents released Wednesday

Nothing to see just normal political practices lol

democrats don’t gerrymander, or engage in other things to help them
win. nope.

Dems got caught illegally gerrymandering in NY, the courts through out the proposed map. But it’s ok when democrats do it.

Of course they gerrymander but not close to the amount the Rs do. And in blue states the gerrymandering is much more likely to get thrown out than it is in red or purple (NC/Wisc) states where the voters are split bt parties but the leg. is controlled by R's..
