Probably a good time for you two to count your losses and move elsewhere.

Yes, I would love this state return voting districts the way it use to be 20 years ago.
His district would be a start in proving gerrymandered districts don't always work.

I just wonder if the Democratic vote is a wasted vote with slew of Republican gerrymandered districts.
More Democratic voters showed up to vote but Republican won

The right was perfectly happy keeping the consolidated heavily democratic area the same when they had the chance to change it.

The right was completely find "sacrificing" three districts, to make sure they won the other 10. Unfortunately for them, Mike McIntyre had other plans (barely).

Legal challenges, more people moving in changing the makeup of the districts, an independent commission. Pretty much every solution will take years.
