When you draw the lines FAIRLY you get FAIR representation, which is something we haven't had at the state level in 10 years, and we only recently achieved it for congressional districts in 2018 (reaffirmed in 2020) thanks to successful court cases by Democrats (where a previous trifecta including the courts, were not going to do it). Change the dynamics of governor and the state Supreme Court and voila!

Am hoping the next go-around we can flip some Senate seats and build the House ones.
