Quote:You can't because racism.

 

Districts are created to insure that African-Americans the opportunity to elect adequate representation. Then they turn around and elect Corrine Brown and her ilk. Just like the Democrats want them to.

 

And like the Republicans want them too. If you put most of the AAs in a specific district you give "them" a representative and you make the surrounding districts more white, thus more Republican.

 

Both sides win! And the party in power when the new districts are drawn win more often. Funny how that works.

 

Eric - you act like the Legislature is populated by political scientists who want fairness and equality! They are politicians who want to look out for themselves and their party. They want to win. That's what you're going to get when you decide to go with representative democracy.

 

Which is a whole lot better than turning it over to the Oracles who know what's really best for us.
