Smerconish said the HFC were elected by an average of over 20% and therefore are very safe.

Said they reside in heavily gerrymandered districts.

Ohio’s congressional districts are not based on cluster mathematical models. They go every which way like crazy.

It would not hurt republicans, but it would devastate democrats, if mathematical population maps determined congressional districts. It would especially hurt African American representation.

That is why I think a congressional district should be no more than 100,000 people. The nation should have about 3000 CDs, in my opinion. 700 to 800 thousand is ridiculous.
