Following a Supreme Court ruling last week that upended enforcement mechanisms of the Voting Rights Act, President Donald Trump called on Republican states throughout the country to use the occasion to gerrymander their maps for political reasons. The missive from Trump, posted on Truth Social on Monday, incorrectly implied that states had to change their maps following the court’s ruling.

Well, they’re going to have to stop finding reasons like that one not to do it, unless they’re willing to fold.

I honestly can’t see any other option. This is the result of sustained poor attendance at elections, particularly primaries over a long period of time.

The only group who have turned out in numbers and with resolve are the Republican voters.
