Opinion: Who will ‘win’ in redistricting? Do the math /Kevin Richert, Idaho Statesman
More Info: Idaho Republicans don’t need to game the system to do well in redistricting. In fact, I can guarantee that the GOP will come out of this process with a map that gives its legislative candidates a decade’s worth of competitive advantage. Take it to the bank. How can I make that guarantee? Even when the state’s redistricting commission — a panel of three Republicans and three Democrats — is structured to give both parties equal footing? It’s all about the numbers. And the numbers are on the Republicans’ side.
Question: Will Idaho Democrats lose even more seats as a result of redistricting?
