GOP wins N.J. congressional redistricting battle

by: Rosi Efthim

Fri Dec 23, 2011 at 08:07:58 AM EST



nj.com is reporting that the NJ Congressional Redistricting Commission's tie-breaking member has chosen the map of new congressional districts, 12 this time instead of 13, proposed by the Republican 6-member team.

Both the Dem & GOP maps focused on creating a combined 5th District & 9th District (currently repped by Scott Garrett and Steve Rothman respectively). The GOP map designed the combined district to favor Garrett.

The formal vote comes at 10am this morning at the statehouse.

Former Republican AG picks Republican map (0.00 / 0)
What a surprise.

Despite the fact that Republicans have not won a statewide federal race since 1988.

What were the genuises in the Democratic party thinking when they agreed to Farmer.


We have a winner, but still no map. (0.00 / 0)
Surprise, surprise.

What it means (0.00 / 0)
Have to see the actual map.  Rothman may still have a shot to beat Garrett.  Or he may take a crack at Pascrell.

It means Lance is safe.  You can forget about Congressman Choi.  It means Runyan will probably in congress for the next decade.  I assume that Holt and Pallone were somewhat strengthened as a result.  But we'll have to see.
