Your post is a SUPERB reminder of how we need to keep our eyes on the ball IN THE NEXT TWO ELECTION CYCLES! In 2018 and 2020. We need to set ourselves up for the next census-taking. We need a MAXIMUM number of Democrats in the governors' mansions in as many states as possible by then. Every zero-year, the census is taken. And that's what guides the reapportionment of Congressional representation, for which the states redraw their Congressional districts. If a CON is in charge, they'll create the most ridiculous, outlandish, and thoroughly UN-representative districts imaginable, to enhance fellow GOPers' chances of getting into office or retaining power.

That's a chronic pain Democrats need to overcome.
