Prop 50: Californians pass redistricting measure that helps Democrats flip up to five House seats

Approval of measure could determine if Republicans keep full control of government in next year’s midterm elections
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

It will be offset by California voters passing Prop 50, which will result in a net gain of 5 seats in the House of Representatives for Democrats next November.

Not just Texas but I think Missouri Indiana Ohio and now FLorida are getting in on it and maybe other states whereby Califonia cannot overcome all of these.

If the USSC rules against the VRA from the 1060; then it may be a very long time before the Dems control the House.

Illegal immigrants, the VRA and election cheating is why the Dems have had control of the House in the past.

MAGA cult decimated in all elections. Good day for all Americans. Glad to have provided zero support for Republicans in VA.

As I said last week. This race was fixed a long time ago. The Repubs. didn't do the dirty work to clean up the voting and this is the result. Any type ID for voting gets you this. A 45 day mail in ballot window is insane. None of it is secure.

Of course, it had to be "fixed" because there's no way that over the last 10 months people could actually be ticked off at the way Trump and his MAGAts in congress are governing, right?

It was fixed by not allowing secure measures to be installed to secure the votes. Only one side votes to make elections unsecured. Only one side votes to REDUCE barriers that prevent illegal voting. In 10 months, the story will be the falling of NYC. And the idiot left will once again blame the right.

Sure, and you'd of course be making the same argument had Republicans not crapped the bed across the board, right?

You consider yourself as moderate?

Conservatives favor lower taxes, less regulations, personal freedom, strong defense, secure borders, and pro-life. Liberals are pretty much the opposite of these.

Do moderates vote based on the intensity of one or more of these in a given election?

Ask yourself. If you left a $100 unguarded on a park bench and came back 45 days later. Would you expect it to be there? You, obviously would say "why not". I would tell you that if you don't have a guard there that it will be taken. Drop boxes are like the $100 bill. They are scattered all over the state giving access to any and all. We have mail in ballots as well and nobody knows how to secure mail in ballots.

I'll ask a question in reply. I align with the following from your list:
lower taxes
personal freedom

I consider 'secure borders' to be a PR term.

I am anti abortion personally but don't think it is smart policy for the entire population.

Am I conservative or moderate?

.... and other blue states will follow suit. Sorry, but gerrymandering district maps is not a new tactic at all.

You are delusional, if you believe that Democrats flipped 40 seats in 2018, only because of cheating. Democrats will retake the House a year from now, just as they did in 2018. Just like then, all they need is an unpopular Republican President .... and they have one in Donald Trump.

Don't believe that? Check out Trump's Real Clear Polling average approval rating below. He is at 43.4%, and trending downward.

You can be whatever you want to be. For instance I view myself as a conservative but don’t aspire to a skeleton size government.

i was just wondering if moderates may vote based on whatever issue seems to be the focal point of a given election like immigration was in the last election.

Dude. They had a Republican governor. It isn't fraud. It's Trump.

I don't know why my question was provacative to you. It was asked on face value. Just as I asked 423 how he considers himself.

I was curious what your classification of me would be. I know my classification of myself.

Moderates are like you. Some issues are prioritized over others.

My take on you has always been that you're frustratingly moderate.

Assuming you mean @Sandman 423 and not me. If it was directed at me, then I missed it.
