The Thinking On Redistricting

By Kleinheider Posted on November 14, 2008 at 8:44 am

Newscoma links up to Jackson Baker’s reporting on how Republicans plan to wield the redistricting pen:

Reportedly, the Republicans have in mind to alter boundaries so as to enhance Republican prospects in Middle Tennessee congressional districts currently held by Democrats Lincoln Davis and Bart Gordon. Closer to home, modifications in Democrat John Tanner’s District 8 could swap out some of Tanner’s working-class vote in the northern Memphis suburbs for posher East Memphis precincts now held by 9th District congressman Steve Cohen.
