Also the Cali Senate just passed a bill to keep candidates off the ballot if they don't provide their tax returns. I assume it still has to go through the Cali House and then the Governor has to sign it to law.


Edit.. it was Michigan that was ruled to be illegal gerrymandered last week..

The traitors aka Republicons are trying to appeal it but they don't have much of a leg to stand on..

Last week, a panel of three federal judges found that Michigan Republicans violated the 1st and 14th amendments by drawing political districts in 2011 that “deliberately dilute the power of [Democratic voters in Michigan] by placing them in districts that were intentionally drawn to ensure a particular partisan outcome.”
You know what sucks?

They redraw the map again in 2021

So they'll do the same illegal shit and it will take years to go through the court again.

Every time they draw a new district map it's good for 10 years and doesn't change. The last time they drew the map was in 2011
