Is gerrymandering constitutional?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: November 8th, 2012 5:38 PM Author: costumed indian lodge feces I mean obviously it must be, if it's always been done and hasn't been challenged, but what specifically grants states the right to do it? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2108592&forum_id=2).#22002135) |

as long as they don't have some racially driven motivation it's usually upheld. |
|
Date: November 8th, 2012 5:41 PM Author: costumed indian lodge feces So it's just something that's not discussed at all in the Constitution either way, and since it's not, then it must be allowed, right? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2108592&forum_id=2).#22002162) |

Date: November 8th, 2012 5:45 PM Author: Flickering racy heaven no it is discussed, but it's very hard to stop based on the constitution or the Voting Rights Act. In fact, the VRA almost justifies gerrymandering because it's hard to tamper with majority minority districts. So a lot of Southern States have the justification to keep districts that are 90% black rather than a couple districts that are 45% black.

|
Date: November 8th, 2012 5:47 PM Author: costumed indian lodge feces so if VRA justifies it, why has it been working against shitlibs recently? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2108592&forum_id=2).#22002210) |
|
Date: November 8th, 2012 5:52 PM Author: contagious cruel-hearted new version B/c the VRA requires districts of at least 50% minority population (some courts will say more). If you have 50% blacks in a district, you can be sure there will be a bunch of Hispanics and poor whites too, who similarly vote Democratic, and you end up with 80-90% Dem districts mandated by law.

Date: November 8th, 2012 5:47 PM Author: contagious cruel-hearted new version Sure but that doesn't change the fact that gerrymandering isn't unconstitutional. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2108592&forum_id=2).#22002205) |

Date: November 8th, 2012 5:54 PM Author: contagious cruel-hearted new version "The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing [sic] Senators."
Theoretically Congress could pass a law outlawing gerrymandering by some definition, but the default is that the states are allowed to do what they want. |

Congress was elected by these gerrymandered districts, they have no incentive to stop this. just like they will never support term limits. |

Date: November 8th, 2012 5:50 PM Author: costumed indian lodge feces agreed, although "geographically drawn" seems to be very subjective as well (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2108592&forum_id=2).#22002231) |

Korean families spend more than 10% of their incomes educating each child, and still get outperformed on the PISA exam by American Asians and Whites. Remarkable.
