Jim Bolin can deny gerrymandering until the cows come home.  It doesn't change 40 years of finessed GOP gerrymandering. And to think the operatives that crunched the numbers for the committee, if not the members themselves, were not aware of the precinct placement of the mailbox voters is quite the joke. In 2010 Rep. Bolin insisted there was no gerrymandering because there were no counties split up (except for the mini-metros where the country club set in the suburbs win the "rural" district seats.) That argument doesn't fly for 2020, when several counties were split up to achieve party motives, so now it's "the Dems didn't make noise." excuse. I kind of doubt, with Troy Heinert in the room, that was the case. He did his work before the final vote.
