Actually, I hope they Left her in: what better example to show the values of the Democrat party? Take out the sane Democrats, but leave the whackos.

Under the Voting Rights Act, as currently interpreted by the US Supreme Court, that would be illegal.

The legislature did mess with her district though. They put a fast growing hispanic area into her district, so she could eventually be challenged and beaten.
