What's this?

Welcome to supporting the GA voting law you racist. :-)

I couldn't agree more with your points here, including agreeing to ID's to get other compromises. Although I'm not sure I would buy into the notion that it's just GOPers that use and want gerrymandering for their advantage.

We just watched that here in VA where "both sides, both sides" couldn't agree to a map. It wasn't until a single adult from each side got together without partisanship, that they were able to come up with a fair and reasonable map to get the VA Supreme Court to sign off on. And the end result, if anything, is it likely will move our purplish/blueish state to a more even split representation in the House than it is currently (certainly not something the Dems would've done on their own, and could've before now).
