We've had elections that Democrats and or Republicans have won by the hair of their chinny chin chin because this is a 5050 state. So that does not explain why up until they did a state redistricting last time that We had only 1/3 of our 99 member assembly be Democrats. That was clearly a result of partisan gerrymandering. But if we use those same principles to redistrict in Wisconsin, we could have had two districts and maybe even more in Wisconsin, two more, excuse me, Democratic districts and maybe a 4, 4 distribution of members of Congress in Wisconsin.
