The first draft plan for mid-decade redistricting in Texas is out. Is it a Texas Jigsaw Massacre, or an episode of Desperate House Lines? It looks like a little of both. Under this plan, Republicans could gain three seats. or *lose* two. A deep dive:.

Under Ohio law, because the current Congressional map passed with only Republican votes, it has to redraw the plan for 2026. Here is what an extreme new pro-Republican gerrymander might look like. It would likely give them 11 out of 15 seats, a gain of 1 seat over current plan.
Ohio will need to re-redistrict its Congressional map in 2026. Here's our modest proposal that complies with state redistricting standards, has no unnecessary county splits, and has a DRA compactness score of 80 (current map has a score of 56):

ICYMI, here's the video:
Friends in European & Asian time zones. I will be on CNN International to talk gerrymandering, on Newsroom with Kim Brunhuber. It will be during the 4am hour NYC time (ouch). That's 9:00am London/Lisbon, 10:00am Paris/Berlin, 5:00pm Tokyo.

In fact, I am responding to the "substance" of what is basically a ginned-up fake attack. There is no sense in taking the bait on such foolishness. Over and over, people fall for the shiny object. In this case, the shiny object is a story planted by a suspect source.
@SamWangPhD So instead of actually responding to the substance you decide on a baseless ad hominem attack (you know he did not get into Harvard on his own merits how exactly?) This shabbiness should be beneath you.

So he should have gotten into college the way you did?.
It’s fine (correct even) to say you don’t care what a 17 year old did, but don’t insult our intelligence by acting like it’s hard to understand what “African American” means. That’s the box you check if you’re black, and Mamdani isn’t black.
