To all the people on here complaining about Indiana.  I apologize if I missed the thread on Virginia of you complaining.  I'm kidding, I knew you're full of sh#t. For the record Democrats aren't little b#tches like RINOs and play to win.  Good for them.

All gerrymandering is bad.  Need a constitutional amendment.

According to who? Not the politicians or the people who vote for them.  If it was bad there would be a constitutional amendment.  

Under the current system not gerrymandering is bad, assuming your goal is fairness to the voters.

@snarlcakes I don't live in VA, so I haven't complained but it is wrong and like Brad said, we need an amendment.

On the positive side, when Indiana stopped Illinois stopped. Too bad more didn't. It is wrong.

Illinois stopped because they couldn't gerrymander anymore.  Look at the numbers.

@spartans9312 that is true. And there should be a law.

I like just going percentage by state. State has 10, a party wins 62% and they get 6. No gerrymandering.

Townships intact. Minimal splitting of counties (only when absolutely necessary).

Rethink your position. 

Under this reasoning, fiat money is not bad.

Smerconish today had a poll asking if independent voters should be able to vote in primaries. 86% of his viewers said yes.

Smerconish said out of the 435 House seats this year, only 30-35 can possibly go either way.

Only part of that is due to gerrymandering. In theory, though we haven't seen it, jungle primaries are a possible solution. In NYC, a jungle primary might well result in a progressive and a somewhat moderate Democrat being in the general. Republicans, Independent voters, and moderate Democrats might be able to outnumber the extremists. This would be true in Idaho too.

He is becoming progressively more unhinged and so are his detractors.
