I like how this ASSUMES that this is the only reason they aren't 'competitive'. Maybe it's because they are a party full of douches.

Criminal. The parties number about the same and GOP should have one more Representative than Democrats but has 8 more. No way that if Fair.

Cheating and always allowed to do it. Unconstitutional

What complete BS.

Such a huge surprise! 🙄 Cheating is the only way they continue to win elections.

For the time being, why don't we just call it 'The Kangaroo Court,' or some might prefer, ' The Supreme Court of the Banana Republic,' or The Court of What's Happening Now, “or 'The Supreme Court of Anarchy' because we aren't dispensing juris prudentia, any more that's for sure.

👍

Gerrymandering should NOT BE ALLOWED AND IT IS!!!

If lines don’t need redrawn “right now”, just when should they be redrawn? After the 2020 election? Is the Supreme Court being political!

SCOTUS Racist

Nice!! cc: darreldrowland

It's only temporary because they're ruling on others at the same time.

Won't make much difference for this election

U.S. Supreme Court blocks redrawing of Ohio, Michigan electoral mapsThe justices granted requests from Republican lawmakers in both states to stay those decisions. The lower courts found that the electoral maps had been drawn to entrench the majority party in power, a practice known as partisan gerrymandering, in violation of the U.S. Constitution. While both disputes I’m laughing because some people think we need a third party. With gerrymandering and the support of the Supreme Court, we’re only going to have one party and become a Russian puppet! So, the dems want it drawn out in their favor? But they said they would lose clout. Lol.

Supreme Court halts gerrymandering cases in Ohio and MichiganThe Supreme Court has agreed to put on hold partisan gerrymandering cases from Ohio and Michigan, temporarily sparing Republican lawmakers in those states of the need to redraw congressional districts by the summer. Because SCOTUS should be be asked to uphold constitutional access to fair voting. Oh wait. Gerrymandering is WRONG. Off course they have, I think the court and the president are setting up a dictatorship. Full implementation will be done with Ginsburg retires or dies.

Fight over Trump’s financial records accelerates, could land at Supreme Court as 2020 race peaksHouse Democrats agreed to suspend deadlines for the president’s accounting firm to hand over his records, pending an expedited review by the federal appeals court in D.C.
