The maps passed by Tennessee Republicans are absurd. By carving up Nashville they make it nearly impossible for voters to fairly elect representatives of their choosing—their standard attempt to deliver illegitimate political power to the Republican Party for the next decade.
@EricHolder So sad. But it’s like this all over, especially in the red states, so they can stay in power.
@EricHolder Democracy doesn’t guarantee voters electing “representatives of their choosing”. It only guarantees that they can “vote”for candidates of their choosing.
@EricHolder This sounds like what they did in Columbus Ohio.
@EricHolder @ashevillejam You should see what Quantrill's Republicans in Kansas are trying to do to my poor Lawrence.
@EricHolder @GreatDismal It’s a time-honored bi-partisan tradition.
