KENTUCKY: Congressional Redristricting

To the Mods:
My apologies if I have posted in an innappropriate forum.

Here in Kentucky, there a plans to redistrict our state, and from most of the reports in the local papers, it is speculated that this would ultimately favor the Democrats. I wanted to share some of the information and get some speculation on why exactly this is happening. My county, for example, would no longer have representation of its own, but be split between two neighboring counties.

My Republican State Rep is LIVID and fighting fiercly against this. During Rand's recent visit we made sure he was aware of what was happening here.

I would love some speculation from forum members and am eager to get some opinions on this developement from you guys.

TA!
