Reply to comment by IRequirePants in Andrew Cuomo says Zeldin coming within 5 points of victory ‘a real wake-up call’ by PichuLovy
It sucks that in the South the republican maps were deemed illegal by the district courts and the states ignored the court rulings and used them anyway. To make matters more corrupt it was appealed to the Supreme Court and they just used a technically and sat on their hands. NYs court rightfully did the right thing and threw out the partisan maps. Though the right thing is hard to swallow when one side cheats and it's blessed by the corrupt partisan highest court in the land while the other side follows the rule of law. The fix was in before the first vote was cast.

This. You can't unilaterally disarm in this gerrymandering arms race. Unfortunately all that can be done is to push it to the point where both sides realize how ridiculous the system is and reform it or more likely until Dems can reform it at the national level to ban gerrymandering. But to voluntarily not gerrymander while the other side does it is political suicide.

It does suck. I don't have more to add, your comment covers it.
