Redistricting Recap Episode 14: Nevada
Previous episodes:
This is the biggest "what were they thinking?" map so far. Democrats gerrymandered Nevada to shore up districts 3 and 4, but both of those are still competitive, and now district 1 is as well. The only safe district is also the only red one. Even though this map is a brutal Democratic gerrymander, I find it hard to imagine it won't backfire horribly for Democrats in at least one of the five cycles it will be in effect for.
