Denny says he increases number of majority minority districts with his plan. He's not telling the truth. ***UPDATE*** - I was wrong.

Rep. Bill Denny (R - Jackson) began his remarks on the floor today by saying that his map increases the number of majority minority districts.  I've said it once and I'll keep saying it until he admits it:  THAT IS NOT TRUE.  He's decreased the number of majority minority districts by one.

***UPDATE*** - I counted Districts 71 & 83 twice in the 2002 summary, so the above is incorrect.  Denny's map does increase the number of majority minority districts by 1.
