re: #202 EPR-radar

Not really. A GOP gerrymander works by concentrating the (D) voters into as few districts as possible while leaving a safe (R) margin in all the other districts.

Yes, but that doesn’t mean you can’t tweak your gerrymandering district to new had superior levels.

The point is, why should these lawmakers care if they are in a safe district now? 90% incumbency makes it a safe bet they’ll keep their jobs as Congress-critters as long as they like. That is unless they anger the Teabagger by say, voting for a clear CR.
