Today is the day for a PAC that will challenge any Democratic congressional candidate not in favor of radical electoral reform. Let’s start with doubling the House & multimember districts.
Any system where outcomes depend on how you draw the lines on the map instead of how voters actually vote is a bad system. Drawing majority-minority districts was only, even at its best, the less-bad option within the fundamentally bad system of predetermining results via the tyranny of the map.
