With yesterday's ruling, the United States Supreme Court officially declared it illegal to redraw voting districts based on the races of its citizenry. Sad!
With several states being forced to redraw lines, here are seven devastating effects of ending race-based gerrymandering:
The one black guy in Maine no longer gets to be his own congressional district: Poor Jerome.
No more districts gerrymandered to spell out BLACK LIVES MATTER: They'll all be boring shapes like rectangles.
This could be a dangerous step on the slippery slope toward ending racism forever: Nobody wants that.
Candidates will now be forced to appeal to voters from more than one racial group: Horrible.
Democrats can no longer use a Google Maps search for BBQ restaurants to draw voting districts: What a bummer.
Politicians will have to come up with other political slogans besides "Vote for me, I'm the same color as you!": Sounds like a lot of effort.
Americans could have equal representation in Congress regardless of skin color: Oh no!
Looks like the Supreme Court really messed up on this one. Can you think of other negative effects this ruling could have? Post them in the comments.
