I figured that's exactly what would happen with these crap maps when they got to the courts. Is it that they've had another ten years to screw with the judicial system? Or is it that with the Republicans in charge, leaving no money to the minority side to fund redistricting fights, the Dems were too weak to win?

BTW, nice to see you posting. It's been awhile.
