What Supreme Court ruling Republicans need to go to when redistricting. Gerrymandering has been used by both Democrat and Republican redistricting. Georgia just got their redistricting approved by a Federal Judge and the left doesn’t like it.
Progressives wanted a second gerrymandered black district. But their upset in the creation because another black district was reshuffled. The judge rejected their claim.
Judge Jones rejected the objections from the voters, writing that while the General Assembly drew the new congressional voting boundaries to protect their majority “as much as possible,” redistricting decisions by a legislature “with an eye toward securing partisan advantage does not alone violate Section 2.”
Here is what Republicans need to use as their battle cry. The Supreme Court in 2019 effectively allowed state lawmakers to draw voting lines to achieve their partisan goals when it ruled that federal courts don’t have a role in deciding partisan gerrymandering claims.

Steve Garvey moves into second for California Senate. The top two vote getters go to the next stage. A recent poll from Politico shows Garvey, who is running as a Republican, with the support of 19% of likely California voters, second to Congressman Adam Schiff’s 28%.
Porter and Lee are also close behind. Garvey needs the other half dozen Republicans to drop out. Hopefully the State and National RNC back Garvey financially.

Are third parties a threat to Joe Biden in 2024? Some behind close doors in the Biden administration are really worried that Biden’s in big trouble. Without the third parties Biden trails Trump.
So, add in RFK JR, Cornel West, plus the No Labels and you just may have a landslide victory for Donald Trump. While long shots to emerge atop the field, Cornel West and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have proved resilient as oft-competing factions of the party have coalesced around the goal of keeping Biden in the Oval Office.
Also lurking is Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), fresh off an announcement that he will not run for reelection to the Senate and continuing his flirtation with a third-party White House run.

The Colorado Judges said that Democrats are picking which Republicans can run for President. I’m sure you heard that the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that they and they alone can decide what Republican is allowed on the ballot.
Claimed that A Gorsich ruling gave them the permission to keep Trump off the ballot. Here’s the ruling.
So, explain to me when Trump was ruled constitutionally prohibited? You can’t. Putin and Banana Republic countries have kept the leading opposition off the ballots. Just saying.

How afraid is Biden of Trump? Ask the NY Times.
Times reporters Katie Benner, Katie Rogers, and Michael S. Schmidt published an article on April 2, 2022, about Biden’s frustration with Garland about the lack of prosecution against Trump, according to two people familiar with Biden’s comments.
“The attorney general’s deliberative approach has come to frustrate Democratic allies of the White House and, at times, President Biden himself,” the Times reported. “As recently as late last year, Mr. Biden confided to his inner circle that he believed former President Donald J. Trump was a threat to democracy and should be prosecuted, according to two people familiar with his comments.”
“And while the president has never communicated his frustrations directly to Mr. Garland, he has said privately that he wanted Mr. Garland to act less like a ponderous judge and more like a prosecutor who is willing to take decisive action over the events of Jan. 6,” the report added.

Why every vote does count Part 2. From now till election day, I’ll be saying that every vote counts. Do not stay home or mail in your ballot. Here’s a race that the Republicans were leading by 5%. What happened? Many did not vote. But just barely the Republican won.
A recount in a House of Delegates district south of Richmond confirmed Wednesday that Del. Kim Taylor (R-Dinwiddie) prevailed over Democrat Kimberly Pope Adams, though her margin of victory shrank. Taylor won with 14,289 votes — 53 more than the 14,236 for Adams. The recount shifted 25 votes to the Democrat, who conceded.

Why the Supreme Court must stop State Courts from Gerrymandering. We see it in Wisconsin, New York, and Pennsylvania to name a few. Legislatures create the districts and state courts step in and set their own. The US Supreme Court needs to put a stop to this. Except for Gerrymandering the state courts need to butt out.
Now in instances where the New York Legislature removed all but two Republican districts, then yes that was proper for the courts to step in. The courts picked an independent person and fairness was achieved.
State courts controlled by one party have no business creating their own districting maps. The Constitution is plain when it says that the maps should be created by the State legislature less Gerrymandering.

You got to be kidding me. After a crushing defeat, Lee is running for her Congressional seat. Just a few weeks back, Lee got her butt whipped in the mayoral race. Now she’s running for her old seat again.
She will be running against a former employee of hers. I guess some folks just can’t walk away.
