The 2024 election went disastrously, of course. But in the wake of that tragedy, the American people have been sending out clear signals that they would like a correction. Current polls show that voters despise President Trump\u2019s ongoing desecration of the White House building, that they rightfully see the Iran War as a needless disaster, that they think President Naptime has made their economic prospects\u00a0significantly worse, and that they\u2019ve grown tired of Trump himself.\u00a0<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/sanfranciscomovingguide.com\/?p=168\">California man, 80, charged in 1994 killing of 2 criminal justice students<\/a><\/p><\/div><div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"x1px y1px vh abs\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-channels-pixel.ex.co\/events\/0012000001fxZm9AAE?integrationType=DEFAULT&amp;template=design%2Farticle%2Fplatypus_two_column.tpl\" width=\"1\"\/><\/div><div><p>Under normal circumstances, these polls would presage the mythical blue wave, with Democrats seizing control of both the House and Senate in this fall\u2019s midterms, thereby nullifying the remainder of Trump\u2019s final term in office. Yay.<\/p><\/div><div><p>But, two weeks ago, the Supreme Court screamed \u201cf\u2014k you\u201d to all of that, and issued a landmark ruling that all but removed the heart of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. In the wake of their decision, GOP lawmakers have now staged a furious effort to redraw electoral maps in their favor, potentially disenfranchising millions of voters in the process.<\/p><\/div><div><\/div><div><p>Here\u2019s what that currently looks like. The state of Florida immediately used the SCOTUS ruling to\u00a0gerrymander its electoral map in a way that could potentially turn four congressional seats Republican. The Supreme Court of Missouri just greenlit a freshly gerrymandered map, drawn up by that state\u2019s Republicans, that could turn another congressional seat there red. When voters in the state of Virginia approved a referendum in late April that redistricted their state to favor Democrats, that state\u2019s majority conservative Supreme Court threw out the result about two weeks later for reasons that basically boiled down to four right-leaning slobs on the bench strategically micro-parsing the definition of the word \u201celection.\u201d Outraged Virginia Democrats are now going to the federal Supreme Court in the hopes that SCOTUS will reverse the lower court\u2019s decision, which is like going to Dracula for help because the Wolfman won\u2019t stop biting you. Meanwhile, Virginia Senate leader L. Louise Lucas, who championed the original referendum in refreshingly profane terms, was rewarded for her efforts by having\u00a0Trump\u2019s FBI raid her home.<\/p><\/div><div><p>Oh, and on Monday, SCOTUS granted the state of Alabama permission to\u00a0go ahead and disappear a majority-Black congressional district of its own. And let\u2019s not forget how, last December, SCOTUS also granted the state of Texas its blessing to enact a similar gerrymandering law that would give that state five more red seats.<\/p><\/div><div><div><div><div><div><div><svg><desc>SF Gate Logo<\/desc><\/svg><\/div><\/div><div><svg><\/svg><\/div><svg><\/svg><\/div><\/div><h3><div>Don&#8217;t let Google decide who you trust.<\/div><\/h3><div>Make SFGATE a preferred source so your search results prioritize writing by actual people, not AI.<\/div><div>Add Preferred Source<\/div><\/div><\/div><div><p>All of this is disgusting of course, but even more disgusting has been seeing our captured national media frame this crisis in terms of a political horse race. The New York Times declared SCOTUS\u2019 Alabama ruling \u201ca victory for Republicans.\u201d Not content to whitewash merely that injustice, the paper also published\u00a0a\u00a0longform analysis of the broader picture on Saturday with the vomitous subhed, \u201cRepublicans are charging ahead in the nation\u2019s redistricting race, and showing new bullishness after months of growing midterm fears.\u201d The Times always loves to talk about what this flagrant evildoing means for the Democrats, and not for democracy itself, and its takeaways from this crisis were no different. A few miles due south, the editorial board at\u00a0Jeff Bezos\u2019 Washington Post took time out of its day to voice its\u00a0support for the Virginia Supreme Court\u2019s decision, because Bezos prizes darkness far more than he does democracy.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><div><\/div><div><p>So not only are you and I being subjected to a coordinated plan by the GOP to nullify this fall\u2019s election results before Americans have even gotten a chance to vote, but also to an accompanying disinformation campaign from the establishment media to posit this as just another political tussle. It is not. It is villainy, villainy of the crassest sort. Thus, it\u2019s incumbent upon other journalists such as myself to explain what\u2019s happening here in clearer terms. So here I go.<\/p><\/div><div><p>In the year 1870, in the aftermath of the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, the federal government approved the\u00a015th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which granted Black men the right to vote (women\u2019s suffrage would come later). Sorry to play middle school teacher here, but that amendment states, \u201cThe right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.\u201d Clear enough, yeah?<\/p><\/div><div><p>This country\u2019s embittered whites didn\u2019t like that new policy one bit. So they schemed their way into blunting its impact by passing the now infamous Jim Crow laws, which codified segregation and \u2014 more important to the topic currently at hand \u2014 disenfranchised otherwise eligible Black voters by subjecting them to poll taxes, literacy tests or cumbersome voter ID laws. It took nearly 100 more years before Jim Crow was formally outlawed thanks to the 1965 passage of the\u00a0Voting Rights Act, parts of which were written, and later amended, to\u00a0explicitly state that the right of Black voters could neither be denied nor abridged. Gerrymandering, in which government officials redraw voting district boundaries in a manner that is demographically favorable to them, is one of the oldest and nastiest ways to abridge that right. It\u2019s nigh impossible to prevent gerrymandering altogether, but the VRA was written to curtail the practice as much as was feasible.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/sanfranciscomovingguide.com\/?p=166\">The tech job market is a bloodbath. It\u2019s likely going to get even worse.<\/a><\/p><\/div><div><\/div><div><p>With their decision in Louisiana vs. Callais\u00a0two weeks ago, the Supreme Court took a sledgehammer to those protections, fulfilling Chief Justice John Roberts\u2019\u00a0lifelong dream of undoing as much of the VRA as he could get away with. With the help of his fellow conservative justices \u2014 Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch \u2014 he\u2019s gotten away with a whole lot. All he and his cronies had to do to finish the job was say, in essence, \u201cActually, giving Black people proper representation is racist against white people,\u201d and VOILA! Jim Crow lives! What a victory for the Republican Party! Democrats must really be beside themselves right now!<\/p><\/div><div><p>There\u2019s a good chance that none of this late maneuvering will prevent Republicans from losing their majority in November. After all, Trump himself isn\u2019t on the ballot, and Republicans have recently gotten their lunch handed to them in such off-year elections. Furthermore, California voters approved Proposition 50 last November, which redrew the Golden State\u2019s maps to favor Democrats, in an effort to fight fire with fire. That measure was specifically written by Gov. Gavin Newsom to go into effect only if Trump\u2019s election rigging gambit in Texas went through, which it did. So as long as SCOTUS doesn\u2019t magically undo that Prop. 50 vote \u2014 and I\u2019m sure they\u2019re tempted \u2014 Democrats in California could potentially make up the difference for whatever seats the GOP euchres out of the courts elsewhere.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><div><p>But that\u2019s not the point here. This isn\u2019t about whether or not all of this Republican treachery will work, as the Times and Post have focused on, but rather that it was allowed to flourish at all. It\u2019s the <em>principle<\/em>, dammit. You and I should be able to vote, and every vote should count the same. Anyone who tries to \u201cabridge\u201d that right, to use the procedural term, is scum of the highest order. Democrats too are guilty of gerrymandering, but you\u2019ll note that the two recent examples of them doing so were approved by voters in free and fair elections. They weren\u2019t conjured into existence by a bunch of looney-toon justices who hate your f\u2014king guts.<\/p><\/div><div><\/div><div><div><div>\n<div>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 <div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Join the SFGATE WhatsApp group\" class=\"wp-image-32\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/sanfranciscomovingguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a2b96627a90b886e4c8186432a8dc6c4-1024x576.png\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sanfranciscomovingguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a2b96627a90b886e4c8186432a8dc6c4-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/sanfranciscomovingguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a2b96627a90b886e4c8186432a8dc6c4-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/sanfranciscomovingguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a2b96627a90b886e4c8186432a8dc6c4-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/sanfranciscomovingguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a2b96627a90b886e4c8186432a8dc6c4-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/sanfranciscomovingguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a2b96627a90b886e4c8186432a8dc6c4.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div><p>That goes especially for Roberts\u2019 SCOTUS, which is beyond reform and now a permanent cancer upon the republic.
