Talks of Redistricting

We talked about re-districting a couple of weeks or so. Well, this article discusses Nevada that I stumbled upon doing research for my project. It discusses how Nevada is expected to gain a seat. Currently, Nevada has three congressional districts, but is expected to gain a seat in the next census. One is quite Democratic which you will see a very beautiful presentation on Monday, one is quite Republican, and one is moderate/lean Republican, or at least has shown some middle ground. The question is how to re-district Nevada because currently, the districts are about even in population and also competetive. Although they are worred the seat gain could blow that up.
