News
Andrew Rice is mentioned in coverage about New England redistricting, where the main point is that Republican congressional districts are hard to draw in the region because of geography and voting patterns. The reporting says claims of gerrymandering are overstated and that simulation studies show Republican-leaning districts are rare in states like Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The broader debate is part of a wider national fight over redistricting, but the New England maps are unlikely to change much.
