SCOTUS Allows Texas to Gerrymander Away Democracy, Again
According to The Independent , the Supreme Court's decision rubber-stamps a redistricting map expected to add 'up to five new GOP seats' in the House. This isn't just about 'midterms'; it's about cementing minority rule by legally rigging the electoral system. The court's conservative majority, many appointed by presidents who benefited from similar electoral engineering, consistently sides with
those seeking to consolidate power through vote suppression and gerrymandering. One might wonder when the 'will of the people' became secondary to the highly partisan cartography of political operatives. This isn't just a win for Texas Republicans; it's a systemic failure, repeatedly enabled by a court that seems more interested in political outcomes than upholding democratic principles. How many
times must the electorate watch its votes be redrawn out of existence before we admit the system isn't broken, but purposefully designed?
