CQ Today: Redistricting The GOP poured huge sums into the 2002 legislative elections and won control of the Texas House; the party, which already held the state Senate and governor’s office, then enacted a map that netted them a gain of five congressional seats in 2004. Republican state legislative takeovers and gubernatorial victories in the mid-1990s gave the party the upper hand in several big states — including Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida and Ohio — and the GOP largely maintained those gains through the redistrictings that occurred in 2001 and 2002. But the state has voted Democratic for president in the past four elections and in the 2002 contest for governor won by Jennifer M. Granholm (who is seeking re-election next year but would be prevented by a term limit from running in 2010). www.governing.com /articles/9cqremap.htm   (723 words)
