Wishful Thinking Department

The Southern Pines Pilot opined optimistically:
 
“During the years in which they were out of power, GOP legislators long argued in vain for taking redistricting out of the hands of the General Assembly and turning it over to an independent, nonpartisan redistricting commission. Now, maybe that can finally happen.”
 
Ha!
 
As an insightful friend of mine said, “Losers call for bipartisan redistricting commissions. Winners draw up districts to their liking.”
