When cheating is the only way you know how to win....

[JayTeeNIN]

If the Constitution gives states the right to gerrymander and pick their own voters then it needs to be amended. No states should have the right to scam the voters or not allow the people's voice to be heard. There are several red states that are fighting to have the right to deny the people's choice and just pick their parties candidate instead and that is not democracy

Who cares anymore. The entire system is so broken that it can’t be fixed.

"The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed IN EACH STATE BY THE LEGISLATURE THEREOF..." U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 4

Then the state legislature will continue the underhand disqualifications of their choice to benefit themselves. Only change is. It get worse’

[forserious]

I'm pretty sure the constitution already decided that.

[Phil-uitm]

States need an independent agency to draw election maps to keep them honest.

[JohnDoe-ewxt]

who else does the Constitution mention as being responsible for election management??

[midnightrider]

Of course it does. Why do you think we have the 10th amendment?

[FriendofOnas]

The state constitutions should decide how these things are handled

[Robsemail]

It's not an interpretation. It literally says so.

[positivepatriot]

If you want to get technical, the federal government was never meant to have any power over states elections whatsoever. But we've strayed so far away from the constitutions original intent that it may as well not even exist anymore.

The election process is tainted in this country

[taz]

Just imagine when america finally has Free and fair elections using Voter id and paper ballots and hand counting every single paper ballot, Not 3rd world elections where anybody from any country can vote in America's elections and use there machines.

When democrats do it it’s called re districting, when republicans do it it’s called gerrymandering

[gregdebree]

Each congressional district should be drawn in rectangular fashion!!!! There problem solved …. YOU ARE WELCOME

[mariekamerdula]

Technically, I don't know how gerrymandering isn't unconstitutional just by the concept.

My God decides what i believe and what i will obey not any government or court

[jacobhawley]

Im a trump conservative but I disagree with Moore here. I actually agree that a court and governor should be REQUIRED to overview them. Both parties abuse gerymandering. This isnt a democrat issue or a republican issue. This is a uniparty issue. Both parties want to use gerrymandering. The prople dont. I think a left wing and right wing person would agree here. But, Imopen for disagreement or discussion.
