We shouldn’t be looking to gerrymander. That’s reaching too far, and isn’t reasonable.

I’m just trying to reduce the number of Senators from there. Make it 2 instead of 10.

The Providence Plantations part was the mainland. The full name of the state is a bit of history that has nothing to do with slavery and should be left well enough alone!
