Where Does One Draw the Literal and Figurative Line?

In an article posted on January 29, 2018 by The Huffington Post titled "Republicans Beg Supreme Court To Let Them Keep Using An Unconstitutional Map", Sam Levine displays in detail how Republicans from seven states are fighting to keep the current congressional district map of Pennsylvania in effect until the 2022 election. Pennsylvania has already gone through three elections with this corrupted congressional district map, and the GOP can successfully gerrymander congressional seats in the state. For example, in each of the three elections already held in Pennsylvania, Republicans have taken "13 of the state's 18 congressional seats while winning only about 50 percent of the total vote." In another attempt to delay the readjusting of the maps, Republicans from Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, South Carolina and Pennsylvania advocated that the new maps would simply create confusion among the people and add difficulty to their campaign processes and their funding. The Pennsylvanian Supreme Court came to a conclusion that the Republican-dominated state legislature would create a new redistricting plan, and Democratic Governor Tom Wolf would decide if the plan should be passed. 

In my opinion, this article is worth reading not because of the specifics and content itself necessary, but instead the merit behind it. Governor Tom Wolf said himself that making a biased and gerrymandered map is much harder than creating an equal and balanced one. The Republicans from the seven states listed above would rather build and hide behind blatant dishonesties to save their representation in Pennsylvania than allow fairness in the maps. It's obvious that the current congressional district maps of Pennsylvania are catered towards the GOP, but even when the Republicans have every piece of evidence pointed against them, they still come up with excuses and untrue reasoning to help their success. Even the average citizen can read this article and say with one-hundred percent certainty that the Republicans have no grounds for their argument. There is not a single place in government/politics that isn't corrupted or filled with some sort of lies.
