Democrats Planning Effort to Take Back State Legislatures

[Adam Griffin]

1) Drive GOP below supermajority status in as many states as possible by 2021
2) Win a metric s[inks]-ton of Governors races in 2018, 2019 & 2020
3) Force GOP legislatures to moderate the maps, producing fairer results
4) If necessary, obstruct, block and obfuscate the process until the courts are forced to draw the maps
5) Still probably be at an aggregate disadvantage for another decade even under best-case scenario

[Adam Griffin]

Getting rid of the VRA would still help the Democrats...if the Democrats were still in power in the South. You could easily double House representation in most Southern states without the VRA and with Democrats in charge of map creation, but alas. Still, VRA abolition might still help Dems in some states, as it would eliminate the justification for the drawing of some rather ludicrous districts that would likely lead to certain sets of maps being struck down by the courts and redrawn in a fairer manner.
