The problem is that maps are drawn up by the left leaning independent swing vote on the map drawing committee.

There’s a Republican, Democrat and Independent on the committe. The current independent is a left leaning Democrat so that person has the swing vote.

The 4 Republicans Gosar, Franks, Salmon and Schweikert win with 65 or 70% of the vote.

They gerrymandered up to 5 Democrat leaningn districts in a state that goes Republican by 10 points.

That is a SUCKY system in Arizona. Can it be changed by the legislature? I think we control both houses of it.
