Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes?

John Deeth has been doing yeoman's work on the states redistricting changes with his District of the Day.

His dissection of Senate District 22 caught my attention when he noted that Senator Pat Ward would be moving into the district and that she might be challenged by current resident Steve Douche, err Deace.

The showdown has been rumored on other blogs too (Digesting the Iowa map), fueled by Deace's Twitter -- Proposed new redistricting plan leaves my district without a state senator...hmm...

Does it?

Either Deace doesn't know how to read a map, or I don't and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Deace's residence is listed, on the Polk County Assessor's web site, as being West of I-35, South of Colt Drive and East of 60th Street.

Per the redistricting maps at the web site for the Iowa Legislature, Deace lives in Matt McCoy's Senate District 21 and not the open District 22.

But I Could Be Wrong!
