whoever drew that, it clearly didnt benefit the GOP unless im missing something :skip:
That district is the black populated areas from Mecklenburg country to Winston Salem. The goal of gerrymandering is to pull those dense areas out of multiple districts and place them into one to secure more republican control.

Sure would be great if we had another left leaning justice on the court this year to hear these cases and challenges...

Oh well.
Doesn't matter, both parties are the same.
Split the vote.
Why do black people vote at all
Etc etc

What happened they don't teach map reading in the Hitler Youth anymore?

:laff:
Germans were always pretty bad at reading maps.

"Shall we go East? West? Let's do both!"

*gets killed tremendously*

"Well, that didn't work..................... Let's try the same thing again!"
