Didn't your old gerrymandered map get tossed? Looking at the map now it


doesn't look particularly crazy, in terms of the diagraming. So this sounds more like just sour grapes, and that the results could be more reflective of Dems just dominating the predominantly urban 4th and 12th districts in terms of spread in those districts. That's not unlike many states where the cities are solid and heavily blue, but the rest of the state consists of much closer but more often red districts. If these results were indeed so "unfair", one might think you would have two blue Sens instead of two red ones.

These results should've been easily predictable when Dems first started using these games to guarantee outcomes by drawing majority minority districts (thus leaving surrounding districts more right leaning). Now you guys get mad because the GOP perfected your own game to their advantage. The lesson should be stop trying to regulate outcome, and learn how to sell your message outside your core base in the urban districts.

VA just passed their bi-partisan commission for drawing districts. Hopefully that will be successful, and not fail to be done, forcing it to the Supreme Court. Then we can end these games here too.
