Per our previous discussion, are the Republicans hurt or helped by this new map?  LOL  Jim Bopp

The Massachusetts Legislature's Joint Redistricting Committee issued its new congressional district maps this afternoon.  Massachusetts lost one of its 10 congressional districts.  The redrawn districts pits two incumbents -- Stephen Lynch and William Keating -- in the redrawn 8th district.  But Keating can avoid facing Lynch and run in the re-drawn 9th district if he (Keating) uses his summer home in Bourne (on Cape Cod), which he has owned for the past 17 years, as his legal address.  At least this is the current thinking.



Here are two links for the new maps.
