Vance response to Dem election rigging

Vice President J.D. Vance delivered a sharp rebuke to NBC’s “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker during a Sunday interview, challenging her on why Republicans shouldn’t pursue more balanced congressional maps given the widespread popularity of President Donald Trump’s policies.

Vance highlighted the Texas state Senate’s recent approval of new congressional districts, which came after Texas House Democrats abandoned their quorum-breaking protest on August 18. He pointed out that many of the states those Democrats sought refuge in have long histories of maps skewed heavily in favor of liberal interests.

“First of all, Kristen, you have to ask yourself why have Democrats gerrymandered their states aggressively in the past 10 to 20 years,” Vance stated, noting the need for Republicans to counter longstanding Democratic tactics that have distorted representation nationwide.

In Massachusetts, for instance, Republicans captured 32% of the vote in recent elections, yet the state sends zero GOP members to Congress, a stark imbalance that Vance used to illustrate how blue states have rigged the system against conservative voices.

“All we’re doing frankly is trying to make the situation a little bit more fair on a national scale,” Vance added, framing Republican efforts as a necessary response to decades of aggressive map-drawing by Democrats aimed at consolidating power.

“The Democrats have gerrymandered their states really aggressively. We think there’s opportunities to push back against that, and that’s really all we’re doing,” he continued, emphasizing that the goal is equity rather than dominance in the electoral arena.

I suspect that the Democrats' election rigging is in response to their shrinking support in the country.  Democrat polling nationwide is in the 30s now, but they are still getting more than 30 percent of the seats.
