Congressional Districting: Is there a Christian Recommendation?

[Ronald Nolette]

In the news this month, much heated discussion over Congressioanl redistricting and perverse gerrymandering.

Politicians at loggerheads, all declaring “an eye for an eye, . . . .”

That is Old Testament speak. What would Christians recommend as a fair solution?

(Note: not interested in the typical “not our monkeys, not our circus”: be a peace maker. )

Note: Romans 13:1—Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God.

Those whose answers merely demonize various politicians will be cast into the outer darkness, where there is gnashing of teeth.

Blessings.

Pray!

It just seems like forever!

Yes, the recall should have solved it, but not with our rigged elections.

Trump has announced he's going to try to get rid of the mail in ballots and counting machines. I sure hope so!

Much love!

Mail in ballots were always the easiest inroad to voter fraud .

I watched it happen, when they introduces universal mail in voting, and within a matter of a few years, the dems had the state locked up.

Much love!

If you fall into the trap of politics, remember you can't change a thing, only God, who in charge, can. Read

Romans 13:1-2 - Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. 2 So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished.

The Apostle Paul was not kidding when he wrote this.

Is Newsom ever leaving office? It seems like he's been there for a decade .

The recall should have solved that problem but he's still there.

Bed Bath and Beyond’s Executive Chairman Marcus Lemonis announced on Wednesday that the company is closing all retail stores in Governor Newsom’s California.

Lemonis added, “This isn’t about politics – it’s about reality. California’s system makes it nearly impossible for businesses to succeed, and I won’t put our company, our employees, or our customers in that position.”

NEWSOM NEEDS TO GO!

We need a national and neutral committee to do redistricting for all 50 states. But I doubt that'll ever happen; it's too much like common sense for Congress to ever go for. Bunch of chowder heads.

He needs to be impeached.

The CA Legislature doesn't have the guts.

Sounds like the right approach, although I dislike having Congress take over what states were empowered to do. Would SCOTUS say that would violate the 10th Amendment?

Blessings.

Not Congress, an independent body without political affiliation. What problem would you have with that?

I think a few new rules would help. The reason we don't do a popular vote is so the interests of rural areas are not quashed by urban areas.

That intention should be leaned into and districts should be based on congruous regions. A redistricting map that looks like an island archipelago completely disregards that.

The high potential for corruption.

Just like is current in Congress and SCOTUS.

That just may be the way we get rid of tRump's beguiled.....hmmm

My mistake, but it would seem Congress would need to legislate such a body, which would usurp the power of the states. Etc.

Blessings.

All rulers are appointed by God! ALL!

True, and when the people are so weak and unprincipled as to allow anything to be done to them we get the leaders we deserve.
