Redistricting is a part of Federalism
Timothy Birdnow
Here is an example of how the media is either woefully ignorant of our system of government OR purposefully lies to advance their own agenda. This AP article complains bitterly of how GOP control of redistricting in many states helped the Republicans in the off year election.
Since this is the AP I won't bore you with excerpted details. Suffice it to say that the Ass Press went on the warpath in search of gerrymandering. And needless to say they found it.
What of it? Redistricting is a power given to the state legislatures, and that is a matter of Federalism. The individual states are supposed to have power over the central government. It really is that simple. There is nothing nefarious about altering districts to - in fact, it is a mandate of teh Constitution. That it is done to enhance an advantage is no surprise. If the Democrats are losing this battle they need to pay more attention to the individual states. They don't, because they have used the central government to override the will of the People, especially in the middle of the country, which has to be forced into the Progressive paradise against their will.
I love this article; the AP actually quotes a student who works with Common Cause, because they can't find anyone with an opinion. They were that desperate. And the student - one Love Caesar (I do hope he or she gets a Ph.D. so he can be Doctor Love) says gerrymandering is somehow crooked because it "disenfranchises" certain voters.
Strange; the Left wants the dead to vote, people to vote multiple times, middle school kids to vote, felons, they want to overrule federalism with a compact of states to overturn the College of Electors, and they want to bring in millions of aliens to steal our franchise, but they draw the line here. These people still HAVE a vote; they just don't get to cluster with other liberals so as to put a leftist in power.
Redistricting is a part of our system of checks and balances, a part of Federalism. The Left can't appeal to Middle America. They need to quit whining.
