What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFlorida's newly redrawn twentieth congressional district will soon elect its first non-African-American representative since nineteen ninety-two, and the Democratic nominee, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, says the Republican map will backfire.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLola Cruz is in Florida tonight.

  3. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentI'm standing outside a strip of shops in the new twentieth district, and behind me a man is holding a printed map like it owes him money.

  4. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentWasserman Schultz told CBS she thinks the plan will end up a big fat dummymander.

  5. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThat word means a map drawn to win that ends up losing, and I've covered twenty years of wars where the maps were better behaved.

  6. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentSir, what district are you in tonight?

  7. Gil MaddoxDepends who you ask. I woke up in one district, had lunch in another, and my mailbox says a third.

  8. Gil MaddoxI haven't moved my couch once.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThree districts.

  10. Gil MaddoxAnd the new lines put me with my ex-brother-in-law. I'm voting now purely to annoy him. If that's a dummymander, it's working on me.

  11. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentDemocracy at work, Hank, powered by spite. Back to you.

  12. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSpite has carried bigger maps than that. Rex, somebody out there has to be drawing up a better play than this.
