You want a real cautionary tale?
Remember how people got all angry - and even ousted several in the state primary - Indiana state senators who blocked the Indiana redistricting to carve up the blue sink hole of district of Indianapolis?
IF that plan had passed, the rats would have won 9 of 10 IN House seats.
A lot of people owe apologies to the so-called ‘RINOs’ for stopping what would have been the dumbest of all dummymanders.
Boy howdy.
Indiana only has 9 Congressional seats. The R’s did lose one seat with the existing map. The next closest race was Dist #2 (5 points). Hard to tell for sure what would have happened if they redistricted, but I doubt the Democrats would have won more than 5 or 6 seats of the 9, as all the other races were won by R’s by 9%-11%.
