I thought a party had to have a majority in a state to do any gerrymandering?
If it is up to the Legislature to redistrict, then yes. Arizonans voted in a ‘Bi-Partisan Redistricting Committee’ for the 2010 redistricting. Supposed to be composed of two Republicans, two Democrats and one Independent. Unfortunately for Arizonans, the ‘Independent’ was actually a Democrat, who colluded with the other 2 Democrats, drew up their own new districts and voted on their new map without any Republican input. And Jan Brewer was the one who appointed the ‘Independent’. Brewer sued to overturn the new map and a Leftist judge threw out the case. In 2012, Arizona had 5 Dems and 4 Pubbies in Congress, while having an R Gov, 2 R senators, an R Atty Gen and an R SOS. The Dems will be pushing the ‘Bi-Partisan Redistricting Committees’ in all states. Just don’t let your state be fooled like Arizona was with a LYING ‘Independent’.
