The only thing the last election did, as far as I can tell, to the Repug way of thinking is that they realized too many people voted Democratic to allow their shady voter suppression and other tactics to work (as I still believe they did in 2000 and 2004). They know they have to up the game now. Gerrymandering has worked for them in the past, just at a lower level. I think this is going to be their plan as they see now that with a straight up vote, they have no chance of winning.
