The 2000 gerrymander was an attempt to boot Matheson, not limit the damage. I realize you were living outside of Utah at the time so I will make no future I-listened-on-the-radio references. -

How in the world does it try to beat him. Take all the highly non-LDS parts of SL County and lump into one district. Throw in portions of Utah County that were uninhabited in 2000 - but are quite populated and very right leaning now - and that's a plan to BEAT him?Originally posted by beelzebabette View Post
Why not put the avenues to the University area in with everything north of Salt Lake, the East Bench down to Sandy with the rest of Salt Lake County, and the Sandy Bench and Draper with everything in the Southern part of the state. Problem solved, Matheson's support is carved-up and cast into three otherwise very Republican districts. And he is out.
I just can't look at his District Map and see how that was in any way shape or fashion an attempt to remove him...Comment

They included St. George in his district, then one of the fastest growing areas in the state and very conservative. It used to be in the 1st district.Originally posted by statman View PostComment

We have a few retired Californians in my stake. They worked for the state government for over 30 years, retired, and are now drawing their pension checks as they reside in Texas. They decided that a six-figure annual pension salary can go a longer way in Texas than it can in California so they upped and moved. Gotta love California tax payer dollars going to support the Texas economy.Originally posted by Uncle Ted View PostI was thinking that a good part of Austin could be converted to a refugee camp for Californians."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Why is the House capped at 435? We're probably more that twice the population we were 100 years ago with the same number of congressmen. If it's truly "the people's house" lets double the number of house members and make them more responsive to their constituents and less under the thumb of their respective party leaders."Remember to double tap"Comment

Looks like the Dems are just as bad as the GOP at gerrymandering districts. District 13 & 15 make Texas' 2nd district look normal."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.
