Wow, I didn’t know we had protected congressional seats. Seems we are becoming a banana republic.

More aptly...an "obama republic" (or dictatorship).

With little exception, nearly every Black & Hispanic-member district is protected for a Democrat member. The exceptions are the 3 Cuban Republicans in FL, but they’ve had uncomfortably close calls with the last election. They mandated we draw more Hispanics into a TX district that had a Hispanic Republican (Bonilla), and a new special election had to be called under changed lines, and the Dems captured it. We did win one of those Black districts by accident (the NOLA one), but that was due to the unusual circumstances, and that was, of course, won by the first Vietnamese-American, Ang Cao (but as of now, there are no Asian districts demanded by the Justice Dept., although there might be at some point in CA).
