Victor Davis Hanson: Democrats Lose Next Phase in the Gerrymandering Wars

The Democratic Party is facing a significant electoral crisis as population shifts from blue to red states fundamentally alter the balance of power in the House of Representatives. Recent legal rulings against racial gerrymandering and declining fertility rates in progressive hubs further threaten the long-term viability of the current liberal coalition. As their traditional platform fails to secure a majority, leadership has turned toward radical structural changes to the American governing system to maintain influence.“ There were some recent studies by various pollsters about what would happen if all of the states decided to engage in redistricting, gerrymandering, based on the relative control of the state legislatures. “And it came up with a very surprising result: If the Republican red states, or purple states that have Republican majorities, decided to redistrict and Democrats did the same, an all-out war, there would be about 262 Republicans and only 173 Democratic seats,” points out Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”  👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: http://dailysignal.com/donate 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
