WASHINGTON—Scrambling to respond to the sudden shift in electoral realities, Democrats reportedly faced new hurdles Wednesday after Republicans gerrymandered all left-leaning voters into a single House district stretching across the country. “Democrats were already looking

at significant headwinds going into the midterms, and that won’t be helped by having all of their voters gerrymandered into a new transcontinental district stretching from California to southern Maine,” said FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver, stressing that the Republican committee had likely hurt Democratic chances of retaining power in 2022 by combining previously separate districts such as California’s Eighteenth, Illinois’s First, New York’s Third, and a hundred more...

blue regions into a single House seat. “Of course, the mapmakers behind this new district insists its drawing was done in a nonpartisan fashion. But you can certainly see how Republicans might exploit the 434-1 advantage to move the legislature in a conservative direction.” At press time, DNC c hair Jaime Harrison had released a press statement framing the new ultra-blue district’s single guaranteed seat as a major win for the nation’s progressives.

ElectProject Will California simply try the blue version of this? maddow

Funny but sad at the same time because Republicans are probably scheming to do this if they can

realjohnfrancis Don’t think the GOP isn’t inspired by this map.

Most realistic part of article is how Dems roll over and take it, just gotta out organize them right?

Sadly this is essentially true

What's sad is they would do this in a heartbeat if they could.

LarrySabato AND THERE’S ONLY ONE POLLING PLACE AND IT’S IN CONNECTICUT FFS

I hope this remains satire, but between the filibuster and the blue dog dems, I'm not optimistic.

LarrySabato Only if they could get away with it...

LarrySabato I'm a former republican (moderate), have voted for some liberal candidates before. Last year voted straight dem ticket. Will do again, and again, until the GOP shows some common sense. Think I'll be voting TheDemocrats for a while....

“Just look at all the crime in Pandemonratica!” They shall holler as their supporters throw buckets of likes at them, without a single one mentioning the phrase “per capita”.

Why in the name of God is he one place you went in Missouri Columbia.

DON'T GIVE THEM IDEAS LMAOOOO

For successful gerrymandering you do not need to group all voters for a certain party into a single district. You can have them in all other districts too, just keep them in minority in each of them, so their votes do not affect election results.

atkelar As if the Democrats would not do the same thing.....and are trying to do the equivalent with their voting bill.

I wouldn’t put it past them.

I thought your website was supposed to be satire.

I must say you are the best manager that I had always dreamt of to work with. You keep me amazed and over whelmed by your qualities for trading. Your passion towards your goal is immeasurable. Thanks for being such a wonderful manager. Contact Brendaenright02
