We need revisit the story of the "Tale of the tape"

It's important to remember in context the deleted spreadsheet resurrected during the Democrats' short-lived 2012 recall victory that led to key evidence in the partisan gerrymandering case.

In 2011 Republicans tasked two staffers and a GOP redistricting expert with secretly drafting new maps. They worked at the Madison law office of Michael Best & Friedrich. Republican senators had to sign nondisclosure pledges to view drafts of their own districts.
Based on an analysis of voting trends, the drafters determined the existing maps would yield 49 Republican Assembly seats and 50 Democratic seats in the 2012 election. Using a computer program, drafters tinkered with the district boundaries to give Republicans a projected 54-45 advantage.
After consulting with Republican leadership, the drafters massaged the maps further to the point that, according to one spreadsheet, "59 Assembly seats are 50 percent or better" for Republicans. The spreadsheet labeled the data "Tale of the Tape," a reference to the measurement of each boxer's arm length before a match.
