Voters are the conscience of our democracy. Partisan gerrymandering is competitive exclusion of their voice. Gerrymandering needs to end.

From Ballotpedia's Daily Brew Newsletter:

The U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling yesterday in Cooper v. Harris, an appeal from a three-judge panel ruling of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina. In an opinion written by Justice Elena Kagan, the court affirmed the judgment of the district court that North Carolina’s General Assembly used race as a predominant criterion when drawing the state’s 1st and 12th congressional district boundaries, in violation of the Equal Protection Clause and the Voting Rights Act.

Roy Godson, Eugene Rumer, Clinton Watts

Other experts who testified cited other instances of Russian interference in democratic elections.

Will Obama be the hero this issue needs?

Obama is gearing up to throw himself into the wonky and highly partisan issue of redistricting, with the goal of reversing the electoral declines Democrats experienced under his watch.

Column by Thomas Suddes

Primary is best shot at removing congressional incumbent

quote:
A few months ago, Donald Trump carried Ohio. He drew about 51.3 percent of the state's vote, and Ohioans sent 16 people to the House. Of those 16 House members, 12 (or 75 percent) are Republicans, four (or 25 percent) are Democrats. Anyone wonder why most General Assembly Republicans (i.e., 66 of 99 state House members, 24 of 33 state Senate members) aren't in any rush to reform how Ohio draws congressional districts?

Item from the Washington Post

Opinion -  Gerrymandering is the biggest obstacle to genuine democracy in the United States. So why is no one protesting?

By Brian Klaas February 10

Quote:

There is an enormous paradox at the heart of American democracy. Congress is deeply and stubbornly unpopular. On average, between 10 and 15 percent of Americans approve of Congress – on a par with public support for traffic jams and cockroaches. And yet, in the 2016 election, only eight incumbents – eight out of a body of 435 representatives – were defeated at the polls.

Gerrymandering, in a word, is why American democracy is broken.
