Swingy States Prepare for 2012, Redistricting : Roll Call
With the 2010 elections still visible in the rearview mirror, state Republican and Democratic parties have already begun planning for the next two years, when reapportionment, redistricting and the presidential election will bring new challenges for each state.
State parties will be integral to raising money and building ground games for the national party committees in the next cycle, when President Barack Obama is up for re-election. With the upcoming release of new census numbers, Republicans and Democrats in each state have the added responsibility next year of redistricting, which can set the course of Congressional and state legislative elections for the next decade.
