Barney Frank's District

[November 2010]

Barney Franks district looks like the small and large intestines, leading to . . . well . . . Barney Frank.

...it not only determines the number of seats a state will get in the U.S. House of Representatives, it also creates boundaries for educational and public institutions...

Huh?

Never fails. As soon as the GOP has some control over redistricting, all of a sudden it becomes “bad” and “controversial.”

The courts will try to throw out anything that favors Republicans.

We need a plausible mathematical geometric objective algorithm, or at least limits to tortuousness.

Federal offices need federal controls. Same for voting fraud.

Sometimes powerful elected officials and controlling parties can work at cross purposes here. Barney Frank, for instance, may want the lines drawn to bring in enough lefties to give him a safe margin. Fine. That means ALL of the surrounding districts have fewer lefties, making them more competitive. In MASS, that usually doesn’t make a difference. This year it might.

This REALLY plays out well in southern districts where Republicans happily draw districts that are 80-90% minority, to ... you know, make sure they get their own seat ... at the cost of all the surrounding districts. The black politicans elected in those heavily minority districts are all too happy to play along.

They should have thought of this before they rammed Obama’s agenda down our throats. Too late.

[GeronL]

redistricting happens pretty much after every census... so its “controversial” when the GOP is in power?
