In response to "which is precisely how partisan gerrymandering works" by znufrii

Here's a question I've always wondered about

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) Oct 2 '14, 12:39

What would civil rights folks think about a constitutional amendment that may take the massively partisan blue district and change its boudnary?

Rep. John Lewis in GA is a perfect example.

Responses:

yeah, that does get a bit tricky, as gerrymandering is also used to ensure minority representation in Congress - znufrii Oct 2, 12:44 2
- Man. It would be World War 3 here in GA if the R's set their sight on Lewis. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 2, 12:57 1
  - in any case, it's all the better for the Republicans if they keep him around and put as many Democrats as possible into his district. - znufrii Oct 2, 13:00
