Tomato, tomahto? The end result is the same, to assure an outcome from a


district or districts to favor one political party (or push a political agenda). And I agree it ends up being detrimental, because I watched my district go from a pretty consistent GOP one to one where Dems rarely even bother putting up an effort. Been that way since they carved out the district to assure Bobby Scott a seat. But now Dems want to blame the GOP for why our purplish blue state has so many GOP seats.

I'm all for districts with a limited number of straight lines only. Thankfully VA just passed legislation to head us in that direction. Just spare me the complaints and whining if we then find we have less minorities in Congress.
