GET ME REWRITE: Scott Walker still doesn't have a real job




Scott Walker spins gerrymandering on.  (Madison.com, 5/11/2019)


Original 3/24/2019 post, "Scott Walker on board with the National Republican Redistricting Trust to preserve North Carolina's gerrymandered districts", starts here.


GOP redistricting edge moderated Democrats’ 2018 gains, Associated Press analysis finds.  (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 3/22/2019)
Smoking gun:  invoices for X-ACTO knives.  The AP used the so-called “efficiency gap” test in part because it was one of the analytical tools cited in a Wisconsin gerrymandering case that went before the U.S. Supreme Court in 2017 and is part of a North Carolina case scheduled to be argued on Tuesday before the court. In that case, justices will decide whether to uphold a lower court ruling that struck down North Carolina’s congressional districts as an unconstitutional political gerrymander favoring Republicans. 

The GOP, of course, prefers the OLD, severely gerrymandered map.
