Jason Tolbert has a copy of the new Pig Trail Gerrymander Map that dramatically changes the congressional districts of Arkansas. The Fourth District is the key because it is losing population like crazy. To keep it safe for Dems, a long finger is run up to include Fayetteville, which, I assume, is a left-wing pond in a sea of Republicans. The map splits five counties. Unbelievable.
John Brummett gets credit for the "Pig Trail" label. As he says, "All of that is to try to produce a 2-2 split in Democratic and Republican congressmen instead of the 3-to-1 Republican advantage the voters produced in a right-wing snit... in the existing districts last year."
