I stand corrected. I was going by the year of bellyaching that she did on the House floor. Sometimes late at night. She did get reelected, at least a couple of times. Is it possible that the redistricting lines have been redrawn? I do recall that there was a supreme court decision that affected her. She lost whatever was in dispute.

You're correct in stating the districts are being redrawn, but I believe we are returning to the pre-1996(RE:Not set up to ensure democrats get elected)district lines, which will negatively affect Mckinney. The fourth district was tailor made for Mckinney, and any change to it will take votes away from Jihad Cindy.

Her original district was pretty much all black. The revised disctrict from that court case was largely so, but much more diverse. As an incumbent, she was able to hold onto it. As a challenger, in the face of an electorate that has become much more aware of where she stands, in a post-9/11 context, I don't think she stands much of a chance.

The district has not been recently revised.
