Silly district lines are not good, no matter who’s drawing them.

However, when we DO take over (soon, I expect!), I plan to continue this effort. It’s just the right thing to do.

I’m just curious how many “years” we’re talking about here. About six? I don’t recall too many complaints from your side of the aisle about how lines were drawn when y’all were drawing them.

Let me rephrase that. I do NOT think the McEachin win had anything to do with redistricting. And it really wouldn’t apply in George’s case because believe me, that was NOT drawn to be a Democratic district.

I do however, hope that people will see this and realize that it’s that much more important for control of the Senate to switch over this fall.

Perhaps we may then even get your nonpartisan redistricting bill out of the GA and onto the desk of the Governor!? That would be wonderful.

I don’t think Donald or George won because of too much influence on the left end of the “bellcurve”.
