Michael Barone is a RINO POS. He does not have a clue about what he write. Redistricting is huge. It makes red states redder and blue state bluer. You never hear about redistricting problems in NY for instance. That’s because Democrats so dominate the state legislature that when they redistrict, they insure NY remains blue. Most red states do a poor job of redistricting. Their state legislatures are filled with pussy RINOs that have no idea how to win. They redistrict for fairness thinking they can get along with Democrats better. Look at the original redistricting map from the Florida legislature. Ron DeSantis had to kick their loser butts and have them redo it to an even better Republican advantage. That is called winning.
You are entitled to your opinions about Michael Barone’s politics and character, however ignorantly and crudely expressed.
“He does not have a clue about what he write.”
I’ll assume you meant “writes”.
As to not having a clue, you’re flat out wrong.
Barone possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of American voting, down to the county level, witness his Almanac of American Politics, in print continuously since 1972.
