(28,498 posts)...about Dems' "gerrymandering." Apparently, it's okay if it benefits your party.
Here in Kansas, the Repubs were successful in splitting Wyandotte County and Lawrence (Douglas County), which were located (somewhat) in the same district: the Third District. Both areas are strong Blue (Lawrence is home to the University of Kansas). Splitting them put Lawrence entirely in the Second District.
Democrat Dennis Moore represented the Third District from 1998 to 2010 when he declined to run again due to health concerns. Now we have liar Kevin Yoder who ran in this election unopposed.
I don't know if Kansas will have a Dem district anytime soon, but this gerrymandering has assured the Repubs of four Red Congressional districts in Kansas, for the time being.
