Which ones?  I assume the Vincennes seat is one of them.

Back in the 80s, Phil Burton put a massive Dem gerrymander on the state.  He eliminated at least five GOP seats (Goldwater, Dornan, Grisham, Rousselot, McCloskey) even as the state was gaining two seats.  Probably one of the most effective partisan gerrymanders even.

Dems controlled the state government in 1981, which allowed them to create their own map for the 80s.
