87. Reapportionment had a huge effect

I'm in western Wayne. We had a Democratic Representative (my beloved Lynn Rivers) until the Publican-dominated legislature handed the district to McCotter through redrawing the districts to favor Pubs. Remember, Michigan's delegation was evenly split until the 2002 mid-terms - the first election after the redistricting. Then it was (IIRC) 9 to 6 in Pub's favor.
