Texas did it. Courts won’t save us. Protests won’t sway them. The only move left is strategic retaliation. Blue states CA, NY, IL, OR must redraw maps and hit back. Match their aggression or forfeit the future. #FightLikeNewsom

Hopefully Governor Kotek responds appropriately...🤞 Fight for Oregon and democracy!!

Ich denke, die Dem-Gouverneure sollten sich auf die Reaktionen der Bürger vorbereiten, bevor sie sich auf die Gerichtsverhandlung vorbereiten.

100 percent correct. We HAVE to do the same things Putins puppet and his fox news administration do.

Must combine it with a pledge to use any power won to pass national anti-gerrymandering law. Need to have a goal, not just to maintain the System's status quo. The System is broken.

Add Colorado, NM to that list. Between the two, should be good for 3 or 4 more.

Time for Dem governors to act or quit their jobs and let someone willing to actually FIGHT to take their place.

Absolutely right Jason, it's time the Dens start pushing back the same way: CA should redistrict, NY, IL, OR and more should do this!

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 I hope every single one who voted for this can’t sleep tonight. I hope they have to get up to go pee every 5 minutes & the feeling of a super full bladder never leaves them. I hope they step on sharp legos on the way to the bathroom & have no toilet paper on the roll.

Yes, blue states, you must retaliate and do what Texas did, no holds barred. Please.🥺 Now is not the time to let Reps cheat so blatantly.

I heard the governor of Colorado say something about why he couldn't do this. Can somebody explain it better?

Colorado voters voted overwhelmingly for Amendments Y and Z, which handed authority over redistricting to independent commissions, 8 of the 12 commissioners would have to agree to redraw the maps

I wonder, though - van they be overridden if they don't, for urgency's sake?
aug 21, 2025, 1:45 am • 0 0 • view
Amendants Y and Z are to the state constitution. So no, they can't be "overridden", and a state statute cannot undo,amend, strike down, a section of the state constitution. It would take another amendment to undo Y and Z--which would have to go to the voters.

Yes. That's what we're doing. Can Colorado also do a special election and put it to the voters?
aug 21, 2025, 6:12 am • 0 0 • view
I'm not sure, and I'm not familiar with how lengthy a process that would be to get a measure on a ballot.

Matching their aggression isn't a winning strategy. That would give Rs time to find another way to cheat. If Ds are serious about winning back our democracy, they need to go into this with a winning mentality, not a stalemate mentality.
