early look at gerrymanders in 2020

Easy GOP gains
Shrink NH-1 away from Carroll/Belknap/Strafford and pick up Nashua suburbs and Salem

If Hogan has a say in MD, just do anything less ridiculous than that abortion of a map they have now

Slice up GA-2

Re-draw lines around Orlando, FL

Slice up TN-5

Slice up KY-3

If Rauner wins re election, eliminate the pie slices radiating out of Chicago

Crack MO-5 between 3 districts

Eliminate the Texas fajita strips, all of the Rio Grande delta can be held in 2 districts, add suburban GOP seats

They'll gain Oregon's 6th no matter what

Most of these would be either illegal or unlikely.

NH - Correct

MD - Only need 60% in MD to override a veto, Democrats are clearly over that threshold in both chambers.

GA - GA-02 is a protected VRA district, so that would be illegal.

FL - Would violate the state constitution.

TN - Correct

KY - State constitution requires whole counties, unless impossible.

IL - Correct

MO - Possible, but risky

Tx - Fajita strips are required by VRA, so illegal.

OR - Probably

Thank you. I'm kinda new to this and i really dont understand the state by state laws of how the VRA has to be applied exactly

The Trumpification of the courts is going to have a big impact. Wouldn't be surprising to see Neil Gorsuch toss this silly Voting Rights Act into history's dustbin.

Should be simple. Equal protection under the law means everyone should be treated the same. No special treatment for certain groups. we should have 435 American districts, not a set number of white, black, asian, hispanic seats. Just American
