What happens in these cases holds the key to America's future, whether we continue in this ridiculous spiral of hyper-partisanship where representatives have more loyalty to party than constituents, or a structure that provides true representation for citizens. Hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst.

gerrymandering leads to extremism. The GOP has lost it's mind by gerrymandering to the extreme and the result is Trumpism. This is what you create when you create one party districts.

The case in Maryland was filed by Republicans against Democrats, it's a bipartisan problem that needs a nonpartisan solution.

agreed, but the Republicans took it to a whole new level in 2010. The result of gerrymandering serves only extremists, the vast middle left center and right gets screwed over.

nobody wants people like Roy Moore elected to pubic office. What the vast majority want is sane middle of the road policies that improve the lives of the bottom 95%.

Election of senators wouldn't be impacted by gerrymandering reform, since it's a statewide office.
