Democrats Answer To Regaining The House Back: Cheat

Nevada Democrats are anxious to do everything they can to help the national Democrats regain the House of Representatives. Now, they are willing to cheat (not break the law but cheat or act unethically)by trying to rig the next 5 House elections by redrawing congressional boundaries so it favors Democrats in 3 districts and the GOP only favored in 1.
From the LVRJ: Two of Nevada's three seats in the House of Representatives are now held by Republicans, but if Democrats have their way when the new Congress is seated in January 2013, three of the state's four members will be Democrats.
Republicans are not so greedy. Their proposed path to redistrict Congress would give them a good chance to take two of the four seats.
The partisan differences became apparent Thursday after Democrats released their proposed maps for Congress during a joint legislative committee hearing. Republicans issued theirs last week....

District 1: The seat is now held by Democrat Shelley Berkley. Under the Democratic plan, the party breakdown would be 48.2 percent Democrat, 30.7 percent Republican....
District 2: This seat is now held by Republican Dean Heller. Under the Democrat plan, it would become 42.6 percent Republican and 35.5 percent Democrat
District 3. This seat is now held by Republican Joe Heck. Under the Democrat plan, it would become 44.6 percent Democrat and 32.9 percent Republican.
District 4. This is the additional seat Nevada gains because of its population growth. Under the Democratic plan, it would be 43.6 percent Democrat and 33.5 percent Republican.

The Democrats are not dividing up the state according to the state's demographics.
In the 2010, the GOP made great gains in the state, including winning the governor's race, took 1 House seat away from the Dem's and almost took over the Senate and the Assembly. The Dem's plans completely ignore this and decided to have a court challenge and spend more taxpayer money fighting this case in court. And guess who pays the lawyers? That's right, the taxpayers.
I guess cheating is a nationwide hobby by the Democrats- disenfranchise cloistered nuns in one state, steal elections in others and draw unrealistic redistricting lines in Nevada.
