The basic party benches are the municipal and county councils. These are the seats that can be redistricted to give 60/40 splits for the party that runs the state house and Stalinesque victory totals in the districts for the party that is not in power.
This kind of strategy is what created the current weak bench for the Democratic party but there is much more that still needs doing after the 2020 census. The problem is that the GOP is coming down with a bad case of victory disease that will let the lunatics run the asylum again. Another Bush presidency would be nearly as bad as another Clinton or Obama getting in again. And the right is flirting with just that outcome. This needs to be corrected. Comments?
