Will usually do more harm than good

The link explains how Dems will flip seat without gerrymandering.

Im just saying regardless of if dems gerrymander in VA -not only would they flip seats there as your article says, but the gop gerrymanders are also likely to work largely in dems favor by flipping normally safe seats.

The decision was bad, yes; but things are seldom either as bad (or as good) as they seem. We carry on...

I expect many of the GOP redistricted seats to end up dummymandered. While VA is a setback it doesn't change the underlying reality that we're going to be taking back the House. With shifts like we've been seeing, it seems to me this is the dumbest possible election to experiment with redistricting on the GOP side.

We shall see... I predict a robust majority.

Definitely better than doing the hard work of getting out the vote and working to build the party so we don't have a bunch of states where the only way we can win a district is by packing our voters into one district.

How could they rule against Virginia and not Louisiana, where at least 45,000 people had already voted when the Governor stopped the election entirely?

It’s a state Supreme Court ruling on the state’s constitution. We could ask… but I doubt even one justice would vote to hear it. There is no federal constitutional issue

Did they then rule a second time?

And the people voted for it.

That could be.

The earlier decision by the VA Supreme Court was to let the vote on redistricting happen. They said they would rule on whether it was constitutional if the measure passed.

But that was temporary while they considered this ruling
