Maps
Ian Millhiser, ThinkProgress
Millhiser writes: "Last month, a Florida trial court held that the state's gerrymandered congressional maps - maps that enabled Republicans to capture 17 of the state's 27 U.S. House seats despite President Obama's victory over Mitt Romney on the very same day - violate the state's constitution."

Jobless Kabul and the Works of War
Kathy Kelly, Voices for Creative Nonviolence
Kelly writes: "Overall statistics for Afghanistan are grim.
