Democracy Docket @democracydocket.com

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) stood with quorum-breaking Texas Democrats and announced plans to redraw the state’s congressional map: “If Republicans are willing to rewrite these rules to give themselves an advantage, then... we must do the same.”

No doubt! Every “blue” state must do the same… the MAGAts have declared the rules of game - it’s about time Dems started playing by them!

I hope somebody with more gravitas grabs attention away from her. Her interviews after her news conference Monday revealed a bag of clichés. Totally unimpressive. If she, and trite Democrats like her, are all that Amerika's got to fight back, then tRump's dictatorship will only deepen. Fools.

If this becomes the norm, the voters lose the right to decide their representatives. They will effectively be chosen by their state legislators at least the majority will be. This is yet another erosion of the constitution. Side with the TX Dems but don’t join the gerrymandering game

In terms of the EC in presidential elections, yes, but redistricting can create more Dem House seats to override the Republican House majority, the way the Republicans want to do in Texas. As Hochul says, "Fight fire with fire."
