It's one thing to have, say 60% R reps vs. 47% R votes, and quite another to have 75% R reps for 42% R votes. But I guess you'd never need to have it be that "bad" as all that's truly important is 50%+1 reps. Depends on what you mean by "breaking point." As the article points out, you need new laws to prevent this from a legal standpoint. Without those, there is no breaking point - the system is working as intended. The Supreme Court is pro-gerrymandering as long as it's not discriminatory against protected classes, and even then you must PROVE it was done to discriminate as opposed to gain political advantage, which is fine. Republicans will cement their advantage and unlike Democrats I don't see them going "hmm we are winning too much now let's dial it back." If by "breaking point" you mean "the populace gets fed up and starts doing political violence" then maybe! It already happened once this year so we're part of the way there! --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
