The Washington Post Editorial Board Faceplants on Gerrymandering

The Washington Post Editorial Board on Tuesday (archived), following Virginia’s passage of its mid-decade (and now judicially blocked) redistricting amendment:

Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss

The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it.

The Washington Post Editorial Board, last August (archived), following Texas’ passage of its mid-decade redistricting map:

The Texas gerrymander freakout

What’s happening in the Lone Star State is not a threat to democracy.

Virginia’s gerrymandering comes after Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and Utah all implemented Republican-friendly gerrymandered maps, but sure, blame Virginia for the “power grab” that’s plunging us into the “gerrymandering abyss.”

The Washington Post Editorial Board has become a fetid corpse, rotting under Jeff Bezos. I would find it farcical if it wasn’t so pathetic.
