https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/us/elections/democrats-republicans-gerrymandering-maps.html?smid=url-share Here's where the national map over gerrymandering stands. Florida's map is still under consideration California +5, New Mexico +1, Virginia +2-4 seats Texas. +5, Missouri +1, Ohio +1-2, North Carolina +1 Florida (under consideration) +1-5

This...

Now the real fun begins. This will probably go the courts. Which in a perfect world should affect Texas, Florida and other Republican states who did redistricting for mid terms at Trump's bidding. Everything he touches

Once again I ask. What is it about "Christian" Conservatives and the 10 Commandments which were handed down to Moses. Jesus gave us the Beatitudes in his Sermon on the Mount. Why is there never a push for these in schools or courthouses???

Just wanted to throw this in here for anyone who considers what's happening in Virginia "Foul Play" The Democrats are using the GOP playbook. All old rules are out, for now

We're basically living on Fairfax time now. Huge vote expected from that area

Most of what's coming in so far are rural/red areas. Seem to be fairly high margins. If it passes it will be razor thin

Saying the quiet part out loud

My argument is growing up here in the 60s-80's the state was already pretty much gerrymandered when it came to the EC. I hate the fact that's its all or nothing. In my perfect world votes should be proportioned. I've come around to the fact that House districts should multi membered as well. No more dividing states into fiefdoms. This isn't the 1700, 1800s, communication is a bit better, for now

Counting on NoVa to put it over the top. Yep, there a lot of MAGA's up in Horse Country (Spent too much time traveling Rt 17 between Fredericksburg and Winchester.

Makes a lot of sense. What I'm seeing in Virginia, not just recently but from past history is that most voters these day seem to follow family/regional lines. Going back to at least 1968, if not before the trend seems seems to be "my family has always been ______> so I'm voting ______. I mention 1968 or more probably 1972 because that's when the Southern (Old time Confederate leaning Democrats "got religion" and started voting Republican. Partially thanks to George McGovern as the Presidential candidate, still some fallout with 1968's Democratic Convention riots and a popular "Democratic" Governor who made his return as a Republican. Very little has changed with the exception of what was once rural exurbs have slowly become suburban suburbs. The most "conservative" of the bunch still want lots of farmland and trees, and the Damn Yankees and halfbacks keep moving in. A lot of the "farmland" has basically been abandoned (Heirs that have moved on and have no desire for the property) And newcomers who wan the convenances of more populous areas (giant grocery stores and such)

I wanted to expand on this a bit. While Ike (and Roosevelt )were probably grateful for Stalin being an ally. They did keep an eye on Joe (especially Truman and Eisenhower) and his successors. The enemy of my enemy sort of thing...

Those darn bone spurs. They've forced him to use a chauffeured golf cart on the course. instead of walking like a REAL man

But I can still hope they constantly wake up in the middle of the night after sweat dreams of buyers remorse.

Tucker is supposedly reaping what he sowed, same for MAGA MARGE and anyone else who now is starting to "see the light". May they have eons of insomnia over their sins

Curious, which NoVA suburb are near?

Another MAGA Woman gets canned for her sexual activities, MAGA Men get away with murder

As soon as he sobers up and remember where he hid the "proof". Probably sometime in the next two weeks

Junior seems to be the front-runner there. He'll split the profits with RFK Jr
