Gerrymandering jackreade 06/29/06
    Taking a move from the Republican play sheet, states that are likely to go to Democratic governers(NY, NJ, ILL, NJ) in November are likely to call for redistricting, draw new boundaries for congressional districts in order to increase the number of Democratic representatives by perhaps as many as 40 representatives.

    Texas Republicans are already in the process of planning to redistrict for the benefit of the Republican party.

    Apparently, there is nothing in the Constitution about when redistricting can occur. Redistricting can occur at any time, any number of times.

    Comments?
