Arizona elections may bring Democratic-majority delegation

[Ptah]

Could the red state of Arizona send a blue delegation to Washington?

If dynamics in the congressional campaigns continue, it's possible that voters could elect
five Democrats and four Republicans to the U.S. House of Representatives this November.

Arizona is expected to maintain four reliably Republican House seats and two Democratic strongholds.
Three newly drawn competitive districts -- the 1st District in rural eastern Arizona, the 2nd District in
southern Arizona and the urban 9th District in the Phoenix metro area -- appear to lean Democratic,
according to national political analysts, though the races are far from slam dunks.

A Democratic-majority House delegation would be a rarity in the past several decades of Arizona history.

Until this election, our Congressional districts were gerrymandered to a fare-thee-well. La Brewer (Or La Bruja) and her legislative cronies tried to take over the redistricting to keep their party in power. Praise be to Yog-Sothoth that they had their hands slapped with a judicial sledge hammer and were told to go sit in the corner for a while!
