Kansas judge strikes down the state's new congressional map

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. An excellent decision by that Judge!

This excerpt gets to the heart of the matter:

...is a partisan gerrymander that favors Republicans and dilutes minority voting strength in violation of multiple provisions of the Kansas Constitution. Specifically, the plaintiffs argue that the Republican map drawers explicitly set out to gerrymander the state in their favor by splitting up Wyandotte and Douglas Counties, the state’s two Democratic strongholds and heavily minority counties, and “submerging” their populations into heavily white and Republican districts.

F***ing Republicans.
