Gojak_v3 05/22/17 3:36:37 PM #16:	Lightsasori posted... Gerrymandering in other words. No because it's perfectly legal to draw districts to benefit a political party. I would still call that gerrymandering. The Supreme Court has never said legislative districts cannot be mapped based on plainly partisan aims like maximizing one party's election chances. These were specific due to the racial component. --- http://i.imgtc.com/rIZcfGBEt8.png <cite>Gojak_v3 posted [p:879599149] in Supreme Co...
