How Gerrymandering Will Protect Republicans Who Challenged the Election
Reid J. Epstein and Nick Corasaniti, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 14 hours ago
Taking a position as inflammatory as refusing to certify a fair election
would be riskier for G.O.P. lawmakers if they needed to appeal to an
electorate beyond their next set of primary voters.
Gerrymandering depends on electoral maps that depend on party control and the census.
It is only meta-stable.
The break comes as the census information changes or the party structure changes.
