US House Redistricting: Arkansas

[Nichlemn]

There's a possibility that many AR Dems were aware their map wasn't the best for the party, but voted for a map which placed them in a Congressional District they might be competitive in, rather than having two packed GOP seats.

Does this map reduce your credence that other state maps will be nearly as aggressive as some here have proposed? It woudn't surprise me if say, Illinois ends up drawing a fairly timid-looking gerrymander. Remember, legislators may not act in their party's best interests.
