Pennsylvania court orders new congressional map due to gerrymandering

>Pennsylvania’s top court on Monday threw out the state’s congressional map, ruling that Republican legislators unlawfully sought partisan advantage, and gave them three weeks to rework it in a decision that could boost Democratic chances of retaking the U.S. House of Representatives.

>In a 5-2 decision, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled the electoral map violated the state’s Constitution by manipulating the district boundaries to marginalize Democratic voters, a practice called partisan gerrymandering.

There is no such thing as nonpartisan districting

Unless Democrats have to fix the districts that benefit them, yes it is.

>oh no a swing state swung for once
>shut it the fuck down

If Democrats were involved you can rest assured nothing "fair" took place at any point. I'm sure the court just distorted the PA constitution the same way Democrats do to the federal constitution.

i dont know about the eastern half, but the western half looks like shit, why dont they just go by counties anyways?

Gives Democrats more potential representatives because they couldn't win as much as Republicans the previous way it was set up.b

Fortunately in the state of PA the magisterial courts lend themselves to normies using the judicial system without having to hire a Jewish parasite.

>see all those niggers

If Pennsylvania becomes a state like Cuckifornia or Mexas we will seriously be fucked. We are barley whiter then Michigan

Oh come on. Those districts are gerrymandered as fuck. The proposed boundaries are objectively better despite which shithole political party proposed them. But muh repubes! Team red!

Chicago is an even better example.

>But muh repubes! Team red!
yes, fuck the rules, and fuck the democrats, they don't deserve a single seat at the table since all they bring to it is shitskins and illegal immigration

but what's wrong with gerrymandering areas so that areas with like populations and ideals are linked together?

seats are given by "area", so you basically census were people live, and their political party, then you draw the lines of this areas so those of one political party get bundles on as low areas as possible, so if you have and State, 10 People red and 10 People Blue, and 5 areas, if you manage to draw the areas in a way that all 10 blue vote as within one, even those they are 50% of the state votes, all they can win us 1 are, the other 4 go Red

oh ok so im only looking at the big picture and need to pay more attention to local shit, sorry im in CA and everything here is fucked so I don't bother.

Because then you have equality of opportunity rather than equality of outcome, and communists hate that.

Because Democrats offer more gibs and will bring in more of their countrymen. Doesn't make sense to me why people who left their shithole want their new country to be like their old shithole country by opening the immigration floodgates but I guess it's a retarded beaner thing.

LOL. STUPID FUCKING GREEDY WHITE MALE REPUBLICAN BUSINESS OWNERS THOUGHT THEY COULD FLOOD WHITE COUNTRIES WITH 3RD WORLD SPICS, NIGGERS, POOS, AND MUDSLIMES FOREVER WHILE FUCKING OVER WHITE PEOPLE, BECAUSE PROFITS, AND NOW ARE GETTING THE FUTURE THEY CHOSE. SAY GOODBYE TO EVERY WINNING THE HOUSE, SENATE, OR PRESIDENCY EVER AGAIN. CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION BY 2030 AND THE DEMOCRAPS WILL TAKE AWAY WHITE MEN'S PRECIOUS GUNS AND IMPLEMENT SOCIALISM.

REPUBLICAN PARTY AND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CAN KYS

People often forget that while illegals can't vote directly in elections, they do sway for example how many congressmen California sends to Washington because that is determined by census results as are the number of delegates each state gets in the presidential vote.

So in a very profound way, illegals are playing a significant role in politics even without setting foot inside a ballot booth.

We really need to pass the RAISE act soon, otherwise this countries demographics are fucked.

i meant as guides for the borders.
it'd be easier to have a list of which counties are in a district than using boroughs and townships

This is why the democrats are losing their shit about citizenship questions on the Census
it would knock off 3+ Californian reps

>illegals can't vote directly in elections
lel

In PA all you need to know is the name of somebody who has voted at least one previously at their polling location and either get there first or know that they're dead or probably not going to show up.

And then there are the absentee ballots.

Nice but I bet you can't counter this

Oh shit it's a thumbnail

I would actually love to see a map captures common political ideology in homogenous districts. Seems more representative. The argument against it is that it stifles political competition since the member of the preferred party will always win.

That's not a major concern for me. It works both ways. Texas has a few more reps and electoral votes due to illegals too. The biggest concern with illegals is fraudulent voting and their tendency to breed like rabbits. Their spawn are American citizens and will turn this country into Brazil.

>That map
>gerrymandering
You’re fucking kidding me.

t. Marylander

Get out of Maryland, it's already bad enough with niggers and spics.

Pretty sure that by law, the legal status of residents doesn't change how they crunch the numbers for that kind of thing. Not saying that's a good thing, but I'm pretty sure their citizenship is irrelevant, for now.

>This is why the democrats are losing their shit about citizenship questions on the Census
>it would knock off 3+ Californian reps
that is cause Census can not veto Residents user. they might not be able to vote on presidential election by they still count for Census

you a dumb and have no clue what you are talking about. IN th 2016 election there have been several majority democrat places with more votes than they have voters dude.

you're missing the point
if they're illegal they can't answer because then they get reported to ICE
this is Obongos America anymore

I wasn't addressing the question of whether non-citizens have ever or do vote illegally, but rather the point that the way that illegals most influence politics actually doesn't require them to vote at all.

They already said they're likely going to appeal it in federal court, and even the lowliest federal judge overrides the highest state Supreme Court.

Also:

>according to a ruling by the Democratic-majority state Supreme Court.

What a shock. Democratic-appointed judges are a fucking joke. They're such partisan hacks. Just look at the Ninth Circuit.

I don't think census workers double as ICE informants. And if they did, there would be a scandal because this would clearly make collecting accurate information difficult if not impossible.

yeah its not like people admitted on live tv that democrats just bus around people to vote right? Hey wait the same even happened in the Alabama election weird.

The only equitable solution is to have Jeb! represent all districts in PA. Turn that map yellow.

Wow the Democrats sure seem to care about fair elections, surely they'll make sure that the millions of illegals in this country (which they let in) don't vote? Just to be fair.

>are you a citizen
>no
>are you a legal resident
>y-yes
>info given to census
>hey this spic isn't a legal resident
>gets deported

Where did I say they didn't you stupid faggot
did you in your Austrian autismal rage respond to the wrong person?

>democrats don't gerrymander

that entire top map was made by pennsylvania republicans, do you really not know how drawing districts works?

Democrats actively and aggressively attempt to destroy white conservative voting districts by forcing thousands of shitskin immigrants, illegal aliens, or Section Ape housing upon them and almost only them. It has been clearly documented that these programs heavily target "red" voting districts. (Because liberals don't want niggers and spics in their neighborhoods either.)

Weaponized niggitry eventually turns these red districts purple, then blue, as the increased crime rate and plunging property values forces white people to flee. Once a neighborhood is over 50% nigger it's forever lost, as every election from then on mysteriously manages to get over 101% voter turnout. All democrat. Coincidentally.

Republicans attempt to counter this by changing district lines to cut out the nigger cancers so conservative votes still have some representative power instead of being completely overwhelmed by the now exponential growth of nigger breeding, which manages to double the number of nigger voters every 9 months.

Democrats, because they were raised in the woods by a pack of wild jews, then proceed to accuse everyone else of the same voter manipulation that they themselves are actually guilty of.

>>In a 5-2 decision, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled the electoral map violated the state’s Constitution by manipulating the district boundaries to marginalize Democratic voters, a practice called partisan gerrymandering.
But they can do the same thing by flooding areas via section 8? FOAD take this to the highest court

>>are you a citizen
>>no
>>are you a legal resident
>>y-yes
under current law its illegal for anyone non an employer or ICE to ask you about Status.

bull-fucking shit. Dimmies drew up these fucking lines to cut republicans out of the picture. guess the fucking demographicxs changed over the fucking years so now they got to redraw the fucking lines for their new imported shitskins.

>be in Wilkes-Barre, 17th district
>literally walk across the bridge
>be in 11th district
I mean there's a LOT of retarded democrats right across the street. It's not like adding them to the 17th is going to make that much of a difference. You're basically just clustering them all up together instead of drawing the votes out of the (newly redrawn) 10th.

>be burgerfag
>decide that most of the states will be squares
>cannot apply the same thinking to electorates

If we just deported all the non-whites this wouldn't be a problem!

>be typical clueless Australian shitposter
>doesn't have rural areas since 90% of the country is desert and poisonous reptiles

PA is mostly empty in the big districts, whichever map you look at.

laugh out loud

>*animated gif of American male celebrity smiling, then laughing*

412 user as well
Don't understand why the whole of Allegheny County isnt it's own voting district. Sure, the Sheriff's Department and other functions are all blue, but that's usually because that's the only choice, and I genuinely think that if the 14th was redrawn to encompass the whole county, you'd see pretty damn close election results for the house so it doesn't feel like such an uphill battle for either party and failure can be put on the shoulders of the candidates.
Oh wait. That would make too much sense and sense doesn't benefit the faggots in Dahntahn

It's racist to cut up the black population into many districts, making them a small minority in each.

It's also racist to attempt to concentrate them in as few as possible.

There should only be enough to make a sure-to-likely democrat victory in as many districts as possible.

Good. Keep the GOP cocksuckers in check.

It would be hard to do population equality since population is very heavily concentrated in a few counties. All the central and northern counties are literally empty. Philly, Pittsburgh, and a few other small cities have a lot of population.

This map isn't even close because GOP controlled the state legislature after 2010 census and fucked shit up. All the districts in the SE there are designed to split apart the democrat/minority vote (Philly and suburbs are very high % dem/minority) to gain an extra republican seat or two

Take it to the supreme court, the lower level courts have all been pure cancer.

Not going to make it to any higher appeals court. The argument was tailored only against the state constitution for exactly that purpose.

Bitch about states' rights or liberals using the law to stop gerrymandering... can't have both brah

They already said they're looking into appealing, so yes, it may "make it to a higher court."

I took a political science 101 class in NC and the I-85 corridor district aka the 12th congressional district was literally the textbook example of gerrymandering.

You didn't post then portion of the ruling stating that if the Republicans don't meet the redistricting order schedule deadline, they can still certify the next election as valid anyway

"may" meaning that it's theoretically possible and that they'll bitch and cry about it forever, not that it actually has a chance in hell at happening lol

Supreme Court already stayed rulings in other states.

This where not state court rulings
