Yup, totally absurd. It is a particular disservice to minorities, but both parties like to do it.

Keep trying until you get it right, NC. Nobody can gerrymander like Republicans in Texas.

Why would I be pissed, Lib?

I mean, I watched the Dems Gerrymander the hell out of this state for years (and for decades prior to my arrival) prior to 'Pubs finally becoming the majority, and didn't say a word.
