Likely D. Anyway it would be stupid to target this district considering that Madigan will gerrymander it in order to make it even more D friendly (you know gerrymandering is good when democrats do it.)

Most people who oppose gerrymandering oppose it for both sides, gerrymandering is bad because it's undemocratic not just for partisan reasons. You're just pulling assumptions out of your ass.


Sure.... you’re really gullible if you believe that democratic politicians / progressive third-groups don’t like gerrymandering, they just want it to benefit them and only them, otherwise the League of Women voters and other « good government » liberal organizations would have already challenged congressional maps in MD/IL/CT/OR

Pretty sure CT isn't gerrymandered, OR I'm not sure about (maybe, but not that much if it is). Republican gerrymanders are clearly both more effective and much, much more common. The Maryland gerrymander also was taken to court lol.

A fair map in CT would result in 3 Safe D CDs, 1 Likely D CD but also in 1 Likely R CD centered around Litchfield county and exurbs of Springfield and New Hartford

No only actually gerrymandering it for Republicans could do that.

No, not really

Look at this one : https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/redistricting-maps/connecticut/#Compact

You said likely R though that's more like Lean R at best.
