One of Wisconsin's brightest lawyers essays on Gill currently before SCOTUS. The case has portent; if it is decided favoring the (frankly) Left, then the Electoral College will be defunct.
....The lower court in Gill nevertheless thought Wisconsin's
maps were unfair because it was possible to draw maps that might lead to
more "proportional" results. This gives away the game. Because the
efficiency gap treats "wasted" votes as a presumptive constitutional
problem that must be explained away or remedied, it is, in the end, a
requirement of some form of rough proportionality between the aggregate
votes for the candidates of one party and the number of seats won by
that party's candidates. It is the absence of that proportionality that
turns out to be the "inefficiency" that must be remedied.
But Democratic and Republican voters are not uniformly distributed
throughout a state's geography and it is unlikely that the results of
numerous individual elections will match statewide preferences. Although
it claimed otherwise, there is no way around the fact that the lower
court majority chose to impose a constitutional obligation to, in
effect, gerrymander for "competitiveness" and to compensate for the
natural disadvantage imposed by the geographic concentration of
Democrats....
Follow the logic of the Lefties on this case and look at the red-highlighted text.
Hillary would be President, people.....
