Yeah we are still growing quite a bit. We saw a lot of change in the last election on local levels. Even though it was heavy blue pretty much any GOPer was canned on principle.

Lizzie Fletcher is my rep. We voted her in last time. This district is GHWB's old one and John Culberson was who she beat.

We are still heavily gerrymandered in the surrounding areas and even some local districts tho.

Ex-elections judge admits taking bribes to stuff ballot box

QuotePHILADELPHIA (AP) — A former judge of elections in Philadelphia has admitted accepting cash bribes to tamper with the results of the city's primary elections from 2014-2016, federal prosecutors announced Thursday.

Domenick J. Demuro, 73, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to deprive voters of their civil rights and violating the Travel Act, U.S. Attorney William M. McSwain said. DeMuro faces up to 15 years in prison when he's sentenced June 30.

DeMuro admitted that a political consultant — whose name was not revealed by prosecutors — paid him bribes to add fraudulent votes for certain Democratic candidates running for judge positions. McSwain did not name the candidates or say if any of them won their elections.

The consultant took fees from the candidates and used some of that money to pay Election Board officials, including Demuro, McSwain said.

The man. The myth. The legend.

If only there was voter ID laws to stop the judge from stuffing the ballot box with fake ballots

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds
