As the country becomes more integrated will that counteract gerrymandering?

    ah..... so no you're beginning to see why big-city democrats have worked so hard for so many decades to keep certain people locked in their districts rather than providing opportunities to earn their way to better neighborhoods.... huh?

    maybe there's hope for you yet...

    the only thing that counteracts gerrymandering is income. if you can afford to buy a house in a better neighborhood, with better schools, you can do so. and you won't see any of those homeless people in Frisco going into Pelosi's secured housing.

    Gerrymandering has to do with political majorities, not racial ones.  Well, except when Democrats do it.

    What's odd to me about Democrat gerrymandered districts is that, IIRC, no white majority Democrat House district has ever elected a black Representative.  Republican ones have, however.

    The democrats will want to be sure that gerrymandering continues so that Black majority districts continue to be created.

    Democrat segregation is as large and as effective now - as it was when Georgia elected Jimmy the Carter, the last* 'hopefully,' segregationist Democrat....And California elected the moonbeam's* daddy. When LA had LAWS against selling White owned housing - to 'you people.'

    Source(s): Jerry Brown (Edmund Gerald "Pat" Brown) senile...oops I meant senior. * wiki ~ Carter's campaign criticized Sanders for supporting Martin Luther King Jr. Carter won the runoff election with 60 percent of the vote—winning 7 percent of the black vote—and went on to win the general election easily over the Republican Hal Suit, a local news anchor. Once he was elected, Carter changed his tone, and began to speak against Georgia's racist politics.

    No.  It just changes how districts are gerrymandered.
