Michigan. It was gerrymandered to have 9 Republicans and 6 Democrats, but they avoided anything obviously hideous looking.

Despite Daniels vows to make redistricting fair to both sides, I think Republicans are going to benefit heavily from it.
The district on the left is the current and on the right is the proposed.


This, in my opinion, is as fair as it's going to get. If Baron Hill survives in 2010, he'll have an even tough time in 2012. Same with Joe Donnelly. The new map favors 7 Republicans and only 2 Democrats. Parts of current heavy-Republican districts are being moved to the battlegrounds, which in the end will make no district 100% safe like some currently are, but will give 7 districts a Republican edge.

Don't they usual wait until they get the census data to make a new map?
