like mississippi, there were zero safe republican districts. like in ohio, a 12-4 map in favor of republicans is unfair. i would agree. but i don't like this idea of purposely mixing rural and urban areas and parts of different counties and distributes. i think that disenfranchises voters and it's a way for people trying to change the system in an unprecedented ways. i think districts should remain compact but should be fair. think republicans trying to draw a 10-3 state where romney won -- i think that's going too far and things need to be reformed a little bit. guest: in georgia, i think that's a nice illustration of why gerrymandering is more potent than it used to be. if you look at a map of the 1960 presidential election, you would see in a state like georgia, the democrats were winning every year. the reason why you couldn't draw republican districts in georgia was because there weren't any tab drawn. there weren't many opportunities. as the country has polarized it's become impossible to not draw -- you want to make your district safer.

we had the mississippi river only a few yards from where we are standing today.e very close to the border of canada sell liquor could be imported and exported over the canadian border. as a result, this area was a haven for bootlegging and became a haven for public enemies and gangsters. in the 1930s virtually every major gangster, a kidnapper and bank robbery in america lived and worked with in the three block radius of where we are standing today. john dillinger, baby face nelson, all were here. people don't know that. there are no statues of these gangsters but this was the epicenter of 1930s crime in the era of john dillinger. basically the police in st. paul at the turn of the century since the word out to gangsters, bank robbers, kidnappers, come to st. paul, you can be here, you have to promise not to kill or rob anyone within city limits of st. paul and of course pay a bribe, as long as you are on your good behavior, mr. john dillinger, baby face nelson, you are welcome in our city. so the deal between the crux and the gangsters was tolerated for almost t
