It's About Time

The NY Times discovers a problem...decades too late.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 - The politically charged methods that states use to draw Congressional districts are under attack by citizens groups, state legislators and the governor of California, all of whom are concerned that increasingly sophisticated map-drawing has created a class of entrenched incumbents, stifled electoral competition and caused governmental gridlock.

This district rigging has been going on for decades. Why does the NY Times feel the need to bring it to our attention now? Oh yeah, Republicans are doing it.
