Reply #100: Democrats To Try DeLay Redistricting?

[ulTRAX]

Gee... now Democrats are thinking of DeLay style mid-census redistricting? I await those who condemn DeLay to post their disapproval. Or suddenly is it OK? ROTF

"Redistricting had always been a once-in-a-decade affair — a necessary response to population changes revealed in the decennial census. But in 2002, Colorado Republicans shocked observers by abandoning this tradition, redrawing the state's congressional districts barely a year after new districts had been adopted. Although a state court invalidated that gambit, Texas — where Republicans had just taken control of both houses of the Legislature — followed suit last year. Republicans in Georgia and Ohio have made noises about doing the same; Democrats in California, Illinois and Oklahoma have as well."
