Selective Redistricting

Re “GOP Fears a Redistricting Backfire,” Feb. 8: I couldn’t keep from laughing, seeing the exposed hypocrisy of Republicans.

Let’s see if I’ve got this right: They seek to reset political boundaries to suit themselves, but not for offices that would make congressional districts competitive.

OK, I got it. A little redistricting favoring them is fine, but more than that and they’d actually have to submit themselves to its scrutiny, which they can’t abide. Sounds like the only special interests they’re looking out for are their own hides.
