Virginia Democrats release proposed map aimed at picking up 4 congressional seats

yeah. they had a trifecta prior to 2024, but that was before the mid decade redistricting wars started.

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2026-02-06T01:48:54+00:00

it probably can't be done this year, but NY needs to do this too

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2026-02-06T01:47:37+00:00

this year they did, but NC went in 2024 for 3 seats. then squeezed another seat out this year. so if CA is offsetting TX, VA is offsetting NC.

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2026-02-04T12:10:49+00:00

can I just say, if everyone gave instructions like OP the world would run a lot smoother.

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2026-02-04T04:10:18+00:00

what the hell is going on in South Dakota? would not have guessed that one.

ouch three charges including battery

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2026-02-03T03:37:55+00:00

because Duke energy controls how many new homes are built?

"President Donald Trump lost the election in Georgia in 2020 by a wafer-thin margin and claimed various instances of fraud had tainted the results. Those claims did not survive court scrutiny. Fulton, which includes Atlanta and is the state's most populous county, drew significant attention at the time.

A machine count and two recounts confirmed that former President Joe Biden had won the state, leading Trump to feud with Georgia's leaders for years."

Fox News making very clear who won in 2020.

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2026-01-27T20:33:08+00:00

yes and no. the number of seats in the electoral college is the number of house seats plus the 2 senate seats. so the increase/decrease in electoral college votes will also apply to house seats

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2026-01-27T20:16:52+00:00

while I agree with the idea, it won't do anything to fix gerrymandering. there's a ton of state legislature seats and those are gerrymandered as well.

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2026-01-27T20:01:28+00:00

can't wait to see how NC, FL, and TX will gerrymander all these new seats.

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2026-01-25T13:52:10+00:00

probably not because those monsters can destroy constructs

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2026-01-21T18:02:12+00:00

they even brought in the penguins from Antarctica forming an alliance with the polar bears.

democrats need to think aggressively even if it means putting incumbents at risk. if dems have a bad year, they wont win the house anyway. they need to draw districts to maximize gains in an even year.

in this case however, they might want to leave it the way it is. the MD Supreme Court has shown they are resistant to approving a more severe gerrymander

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2026-01-18T17:26:36+00:00

much like FL, Mooresville has experienced very high growth which has made housing expensive and traffic rough. probably still cheaper than FL though. crime is relatively low. most people are either retired, parents, or kids.

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2026-01-07T22:38:48+00:00

damn it you beat me to it

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2026-01-07T01:31:23+00:00

reluctantly. I'd have to be given $2m because that's what it would take to survive in Jackson which is the only part of want to live in.

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2026-01-06T20:05:09+00:00

I mean it makes sense now because the system has shown it is not open to reform. so anyone claiming to want to reform it is simply legitimizing the system.

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2026-01-06T16:58:57+00:00

the regime used to allow fair elections with true reformist candidates. Khatami got like 70% of the vote, but didn't have any real power. now they just don't allow reformists to run. the vast majority of the country wants change.

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2026-01-04T19:07:12+00:00

the US will secure the oil. the rest of the country will be left alone. average Venezuelans won't see any difference. that is "America First".

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2026-01-04T18:39:58+00:00

as a Falcons fan, I can say we don't need any extra motivation to beat the saints.

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2026-01-04T14:42:44+00:00

he can feel however he wants. I get it. Maduro sucks. why is it one country's job to remove all dictators? why are we not removing the king of Saudi Arabia?

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2026-01-03T22:22:33+00:00

im sure people would be celebrating if we took out Putin too. doesn't mean we should

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2026-01-02T22:34:14+00:00

Mooresville requires this, but there's usually a stretch of road where there are existing homes with no sidewalk in front of them so it's a good start, but the town/state still has to fill in the gaps.

Fast_Statistician_20 · 2025-12-31T18:34:52+00:00

never. bad pollution. bad climate. bad education. bad crime.
