Allen West Vulnerable to Redistricting?
Republicans are in firm control of redistricting efforts in Tallahassee, in their lists of the top 10 congressional Democratic and Republican incumbents vulnerable in redistricting, David Wasserman and Julia Edwards over at National Journal included Republican U.S. Rep. Allen West:
Florida's 22nd CD may be the ugliest gerrymandered patchwork of precincts in the country, and West won one of the ugliest races in the country in 2010, unseating Democrat Ron Klein with a big lift from senior voters in Palm Beach and Broward counties. If new voter-approved anti-gerrymandering measures are enforced (and that's a big if), West's district will have no place to go but into neighboring Democratic precincts, helping to pave the way for Democratic former West Palm Beach Mayor Lois Frankel.
