*Vasquez is a far-left radical who fits in the radical Dems in the House.

Republicans don't have a chance as the Dems cut up reliably conservative NM-2 by putting concentrations of Pub voters into overwhelming Dem controlled NM-3. The Franken map puts most parts of conservative Lea County in SE NM (including most of the oil patch city of Hobbs) in NM-3, which now runs from Southeast NM adjacent to Texas to Northeast New Mexico then west adjacent to Colorado to Northwest New Mexico adjacent to Arizona. Besides most of Hobbs, it includes Clovis, Raton, all of Hispanic northern NM (including far-left "progressive" Santa Fe), Farmington and the Navajo Reservation. In addition, it moves poor areas of ABQ's south valley (formerly NM-1) into NM-2 and moves parts of conservative Roswell into NM-1.

The Republican party was expecting this outcome and now will move to the Federal Courts which recently have examined gerrymandering in North Carolina, Alabama and other states.

New Mexico Supreme Court upholds Democratic-drawn congressional map The New Mexico Supreme Court has upheld a Democratic-drawn congressional map that divvied up a conservative, oil-producing region and reshaped a swing district along the U.S. border with Mexico

State District Court Judge Fred Van Soelen had ruled in October that recent changes to New Mexico's congressional districts do not violate the state constitution. ... Democrats gained a 12% advantage in voter registrations over Republicans in the newly drawn 2nd District, where major party registration previously was roughly evenly split, Judge Van Soelen noted.

Yet his court and the state supreme court said the gerrymander wasn't "egregious".

Why is it that republicans are so horribly bad at this game of politics? Even though the democrats ideas are all terribly horrid the R’s keep getting their asses handed to them. They outplayed the R’s by getting the SC to an all democrat panel.

Way to go stupids.

In Pennsylvania, the Rat court order new congressional districts and simply drew the map themselves, even though the state constitution gives that authority solely to the legislature.

The new Rat map resulted in 5 pickup seats for the democrats. When the GOP legislature took it to the supreme court, the court refused to take the case, saying it was a state matter.
