Michigan citizens take on gerrymandering with redrawn congressional map

1. Wonderful!

2. There should be ZERO rights or authority based on race.
   The last section of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment DENIES States the authority to deny Equal Protection under the Law, why shouldn't it apply to voting districts?
   The 15th Amendment threw out voting rights based on race.

   US Supreme Court: Loving v Virginia 1967
   It threw out a State law that denied a White Person the right to many a person of any other race, they ruled it it supported White Supremacy.
   It was a violation of both Equal Protection and Due Process in the 14th Amendment.

3. This map is not fair for Democrats it gives Republicans six seats against democrats for and it creates three swing districts a fair map would be six Republican six Democratic and one swing seat

4. So this seems fair but both parties have a problem with the people drawing up the map. Political parties are just trash. Power to the people. The people!!!!!

5. You know you’ve done a great job when both parties are complaining

6. I absolutely agree that citizens should be in charge and not political people. How dare any party redraw maps that eliminate one party out, so the party not in power do not have representation. It's unacceptable that the party in power eliminate representation of the people who don't vote for the party in power

7. This is the greatest solution to gerrymandering that I have ever seen. Let’s do this throughout all the states please!!

8. Voters in other States need to adopt this model, wherever possible.
   Can everyday people reclaim power in our modern society?
   – w/o violence?

9. Gerrymandering should be outlawed. It's just a dumb weapon abused by both parties.

10. That’s wonderful hopefully all states will take an example and do the same; kudos to the citizens.🎉👍🏾

11. When both sides complain, something must be fair.

12. Competitive district's are A good thing. I'm sure the map isn't perfect but is on the right direction. Do it in Maryland/North Carolina as well. The 7-1 Democrat and around 10 more gop seats in NC arn't Democratic and allow MTG's to win.

13. Good Luck!

14. It is about time thanks guys. Every state should unite and do the same deed by Michigan.

15. It ain't red and blue, it's all about white vs black.

16. Show the world, this is what democracy looks like. In my opinion

17. Actions! That’s what I am talking about. Excellent job! We just can’t sit back and do nothing! PROGRESS IS THE GOAL.
    Also, the person helping the issues of black Americans does not have to be a black person.

18. This is how it should be in every state!!!! But the Republicans won't allow it because they want all the power

19. Ok thanks

20. I used to be for independent commission. But If this is what a commission will do. I am not for it anymore. Her smug over priveledge attitude, "I think black people will still win." "We kept at 44%" Likt she is really doing something. As usual white folk do not want to live under control of blacks. But they sure expect us to live under their control.

21. Of course that is the case for people who work with republicans. If they work with republicans you must disenfranchise blacks. They took maps and made sure their were no majoriry black districts. Three competitive districts around Detroit. And on in a ruram area. This kind ofshit always occurs at the expense of black folk.

22. Michigan has 50% Dems and 48% Republicans

23. Good for her. That's what we need. Maybe the young will be the voice of reason we so desperately need.

24. Gerrymandering in the US is becoming a joke. Districts should be drawn by existing county and city borders so there is no corruption happening. Trying to add or remove certain ethnic groups is corruption.

25. When it's done fairly, it always hurts republicans. Think about that.

26. Heroine. Thank Goodness for you just stating the obvious and doing something. Humbled.

27. Yet they’re silent on what NY just did with their maps.
    They have one side and silence dissent.

28. It works again.☝️just increase my bank account with $30,000 payment for my rent

29. It works again ☝️just increase my bank account with $30,000 payment for my rent

30. Its funny.. one side actually votes. While the other just redraws maps, and attempts to seize voting machines. Great job to this young lady.

31. WW2 does not matter it was just white people. – Whoopi

32. Let's go Brandon

33. REALITY JAIL TV – Televise Treasonous Traitor 'The big lie' Trump in a jail cell like a Capitol rioter.
    
    Capitol rioters: "I'm really ashamed at what I did." R.Palmer; "I am deeply ashamed by my actions." E.Schwemmer.
    
    Trump admitted to Treason (20 year sentence) asking to illegally seize voting machines and rewarding insurrectionists.
    
    Fraudulent Republican Electors. Unlawful redistricting. Bogus audits. Selfie videos. 'AMERICANS ARE GULLIBLE FOOLS'..

34. Applause to the committee!

35. Republicans will still cheat , dems a Michigan dumb.

36. After all these advocates in both parties are crying foul 🙄

37. Population numbers matter in state and federal voting so breaking up a state without using population numbers is bs!

38. It doesn’t matter what you do, someone will have a problem with it. Living in MI, the new map is much more fair OVERALL than the old map. Suck it up buttercups.

39. There is no perfect map

40. or…..hear me out.

    ….GET RID OF THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM ALTOGETHER!

41. Always good when both sides don’t like it.

42. Bring her mindset to the whole country. We need to get back to working together!

43. Well done Michigan residents. You are wonderful. ❤❤❤❤❤ Sounds fair but there is always someone who will not agree. It is so hard! Cheers from Australia.xxxxx👍
