Rules are rules, but this happening seemed pretty obvious. Would be nice if they could just do this from the get-go. It is not reasonable to think that the same people (more or less) who gerrymandered the first maps are not going to try and do it again.
But, they weren't accused of "gerrymandering." They were accused of using race-based redistricting.
