The second step is to redistrict in order to restore a balance between the ratio of House seats awarded and the ratio of votes for Dems and Republicans state-wide.<br /><br />And we don't have to wait for 2020 to do this redistricting. The Republicans already set the precedent for doing it earlier.Chris Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18139817527808942227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-14078113630689699602012-12-14T11:46:34.193-06:002012-12-14T11:46:34.193-06:00A snake bites hardest just before it dies.A snake bites hardest just before it dies.Chris Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18139817527808942227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-78930763488861828042012-12-14T11:04:11.265-06:002012-12-14T11:04:11.265-06:00This is one of the most lucid reads I've come ...This is one of the most lucid reads I've come across.

I am always impressed at how the GOP can simultaneously celebrate itself when it makes a raw power grab and denigrate Democrats for doing precisely the same thing, with no visible sheepishness.<br /><br />Krugman is entirely right.
