At least it’s not a semi-automatic crossbow.

Medieval political debate.

Sir Lancelot, meet Sir Crossbowlot.

Gerrymandering is about geography, so I think what would fit is if the track the horse runs on one side is a one foot deep trench.

He claimed that there was too much money in sport but the chairman of the rules committee said that he lost his appeal because there wasn’t enough.

Technology meets the Middle Ages.

Movie sequel:

Look Back in Onager.

What we need is a way to gerrymander the electoral system to overwhelm outlying districts with the votes from major population centers, denying them any voice in national executive elections. People in the population capitals should have all the power.

Don’t bring a lance to a scorpio fight?

Makes sense.

By the Numbers:I did a study. I downloaded all the results of the 2022 Congressional races. In each state I tallied up the number of Republican Votes and Number of Democratic votes and projected how their house seats should be divided. Then I compared them to how they are actually divided.

Here is an example for Florida with 28 seats. Florida went 55% – 45% R to D in the 2022 election. If the seats were fairly allocated, the state should have 16 R seats and 12 D seats. Instead the split is 20 R – 8 D. That’s an overall shift of 8 seats in favor of the Republicans.

While there are a few states where the shift favors the Democrats slightly most states favor Republicans by a large percentage.

Nationwide, the Republicans have 14 more seats (a shift of 28 seats) than they deserve due to gerrymandering. A 28 seat shift is significant.

Judging by his lance, his case is pointless to begin with.

Gerry Mander, I believe he worked in accounting at my law firm.

Be sure to take care of his horse, too.

For a minute there The Count thought The Count was reading “The Wizard of Id” and Rodney’s Asp was Grass again.

A bit misaimed. Engineering failure.

above all, protect the quarterback.

Using “They’ll take up the issue after your funeral” as a reference, Google: Trump is to be sentenced after the election

Way to get it fixed…have New York, Ca and Illinois gerrymander to all blue.

Terrific! That is underwhelming news, to say the least.
