It also misses the context of how this map was chosen. The majority party invited the minority party to be involved in redistricting, but the minority party refused to participate unless the districts were gerrymandered to their benefit rather than balanced. So the majority party picked a compromise map instead of stacking and cracking to completely eliminate minority party representation in the House.
As a result, the minority party was the sole beneficiary of OR’s new House seat, while the majority party kept the same number of seats as before. How did the minority party respond to this gift? By having state senators leave the state in protest to prevent a quorum and block all legislation.
