Educate me.....Redistricting "Gerrymandering"

No, I think it will. This is why I mentioned adjusting only in the cities/counties that saw the population change. Some may shrink, some may grow, as all things do.

 

A year ago yesterday the oldest woman in Congress, a New Yorker, died at 88. I studied her career and posted this on Facebook.
Her career tells a lot about gerrymandering.
She won her first term in 1986, beating a conservative Republican in his first term.
First term Congressmen are always vulnerable, but possibly she did not draw the best Democrats against her in the primary.
In 1992 they redrew the line to put her against a 73-year-old Republican. She was 63 and not expected to stay long anyway. The old Republican retired and she got 5 more terms.
In 2002 they put her in a district with a 63-year-old Democrat. He retired, forcing her to stay 10 more years.
In 2007 she became important at age 78, becoming Chairman of the Rules Committee. (No one wants to retire without chairing a committee.)
In 2012 they didn't force her to face a neighboring incumbent but put more Republicans in her district to make it easier for someone else to keep winning in a neighboring district.
That's when she decided to try to die on the job.
In 2014 it was very close, but she beat the same guy in 2016 more easily.
