I really don't get Alting's "I think this is bad, but I'm going to vote on it anyway and hope 16 of my colleagues bail me out" position. Does he really think it will protect his right flank come primaries? And what will he do if it's a 25-25 tie and Beckwith votes to pass it?
I've written to him expressing my disappointment and noting that he's screwed either way. Vote yes, he'll lose support and the radical will stun run against him. Vote no and the radical will still run against him.

Absolutely agree! Have written to him as well said we shouldn’t need to cheat!
What an absolute coward Ron Alting is.

Thanks for including my three Christmas songs, Dave. A cheery ending for readers after your redistricting story. —Angie
