The decline since people with moneybags figured out how to corrupt Congress. That happened prior to about 1850 BTW. Since then it has gotten worse with deliberate disenfranchisement of minorities, gerrymandering on a national scale; and more and more money.


Good Lord!


Really?


Minorities are now "disenfranchised" in the USA worse than they were in 1850.


Who would have thunk it?


I think you'd best crack that history book yet again.


That said, gerrymandering is definitely a serious problem in the USA, on both sides. The simple solution is Elections Boundary Commissions with Commissioners appointed by a bi-partisan Committee on the basis of unanimous consent of all commissioners.


But don't hold your breath.

One need only to look at Liberal Democrat Massachusetts to see how the experts gerrymander. The Liberal Democrats almost got away with Gerrymandering districts with a growing minority population to keep their old white male liberal representatives in office. The Massachusetts Speaker of the House plead guilty to a felony for obstruction to keep out of jail.


After the 2000 U.S. census, in 2001 the Massachusetts House, under Finneran's leadership, drew up new House districts. The redistricting was challenged in Federal court, in a civil case, by the Black Political Task Force and others, as unfair to minority voters by constructing districts intended to favor white incumbents to the detriment of candidates preferred by blacks. In 2004, a three-judge Federal Court panel held that the redistricting plan violated section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 by discriminating against black voters.

Democrats and Liberals are racists.

The last Mosquito bit Lizzy had also removed the native American blood she had in her veins. Now she needs to give Stanford another $100,000. donation and sign up for a new DNA test.
