Just the other day I was wondering what was going on with redistricting here.

And here is the answer.

I can't believe it might go to the Supreme Court! Of course, we'll probably have to live with it for a few years til it makes its way there.

It is good, old-fashioned gerrymandering, people, and there ain't no other way about it:
"The law governing racial gerrymandering is still evolving, but Gerry Hebert, one of the Democratic lawyers and a nationally recognized expert on redistricting law, said there are objective ways to measure whether it has occurred. And looking at the shapes of some of the new districts, he believes it did occur. "
