Update re: Bridgeport. Republicans are trying to move it to the 3rd, creating what would be a reasonably safe R seat in the 4th.

I don't see why they can't just go for a minimum change map. Having a shot at 2 seats is good for Republicans in a solidly blue state and the map maintains CoIs pretty decently.

The Dems should not compromise to this, especially with the GOP being so aggressive in their states. Dem trifecta in a Dem state, there's no reason it can't be at least status quo, or shore up CT-4 or CT-5, preferably the latter since it's open.

Also, Repubs twice had a majority of seats under that map in years only leaning GOP (2002 and 2004).
