1  In a courageous move to "save democracy" Guv newscum will decree that all illegals be given the right to vote twice or as many times as it takes. MSNEVER applauds his love of country.

2 Gruesome Newsome also wants a new special election to permit gerrymandering California in order to "Stop election tampering." The "election tampering" in question is the gerrymandering in Texas intended to increase Republican seats in the House. California is presently so highly gerrymandered that, while 60% of its residents (the entire rural population) are conservative, and only 40% (the big cities), 80% of its representatives are Democrat. Only in California would a higher degree of crime be claimed as a valid counter to crime.

3 You've got it right, Bill.

Another crime is the fact that 99% of the people (at least on television) mispronounce the word. It is properly pronounced with a hard G, as "GARYmandering," not "JERRYmandering." It is named for Elbridge Gerry (I'm not sure if he was a senator or a representative) who developed the practice back in the dawn of our Republic, and I would imagine there was quite a bit of opposition to it even then. Naturally, Gerry was a Democrat -- there were no Republicans as we know them back then.

4 Excellen points Bill and Mike. Nuisance is the emperor of hypcrisy as he and his ilk have already gerrymandered their state to the zenith.

Dana, Gerry was a House member and later Senator from Massachusetts. He was also Vice President under James Madison after having served one term as governor of Massachusetts.

As a lifelong politician and having rubbed elbows with the fathers of the Constitution (like Madison) he knew how the machinery worked - and how to thwart it.

5 Ah; thank you, Tim. So he was in it from all around and obviously knew how to gum up the works with the best (worst) of them. Obviously, throwing sand into the gears of gummint is not a recent phenomenon!
