42. Yes, this.

Eventually the numbers begin to add up. When they do, all that hard fought redistricting is in danger.

Also, when people keep getting sick and their elderly relatives/friends subsequently die, people are paying more attention. I'm definitely not saying they're speaking out, but they're watching the community. Here vaccines go up when deaths do. I'm speaking rurally. How many of those folks can they afford to alienate and/or lose due to Covid? Quite a few in some districts, but far less in others.

It's a numbers game where it's far too easy to overplay your hand.
