Chris Bell (D) is among the disenfranchised. He lost his seat to a black Democrat. Rather than complain about districts based on race, he blames the opposition party.
He's running for governor now. Let's see him become a 3 time loser (mayor, congress, governor).
Bob Barr was left without a district in Georgia...retaliabtion for impeachment of Clinton. Those in power have always drawn partisan election maps. Whiny Democrats can't win elections so they must rely on courts.
When the Republicans engage in gerrymandering, it's a naked political power grab. When the Democrats do it, it's a suitably-attired political power grab.
Gerrymandering is named after Elbridge Gerry, a Democrat.
