Living in and following Texas politics for over 50 years, redistricting was conducted every ten years after the census to reflect voter population changes.When the Republicans took over, they changed it right in the middle of the ten year period(and not for population changes but to secure and increase Republican winners) by Delay's getting campaign money to those in the Texas legislature who voted for the changes.
That is why Delay is Bush's hero.Take a look at a map of Delay's district before and after redistricting (it now looks like the snake he is) and you will understand the problem. That is not what he was indicted for, however.
