[Magdalen] Gerrymandering was Canada's election

[Jim Guthrie]

Of course,the Voting Rights Act encouraged gerrymandering in many states in the 
South.

Districts that zig-zag across entire states and sometimes connected for several 
miles my nothing more than the width of the interstate highway the line follows 
are drawn to VRA specifications to create African-American districts. By making 
sure such districts were created, states; district lines were approved under 
VRA.

And you can be sure these districts will continue to exist after the 2020 census 
redistricting, resulting in all-white conservative Republicans continuing to run 
these sates (and litter Congress) while claiming, "Well, we don’t need the 
Voting Rights Act -- heck, we're even following their directions without the 
law!"


Cheers,
