> [@Smapti](#): > > There is exactly as much evidence that the CEO of.Diebold rigged the Ohio results as there is that Hugo Chavez had bamboo ballots from China planted in Maricopa County, AZ. Did Hugo Chavez claim that he was going to do that? Because the CEO of Diebold did. Again, maybe he was lying. But when the CEO of the company that makes the voting machines says he’s going to subvert democracy, that’s the sort of thing that you kind of have to pay attention to. > [@Railer13](#): > > Um, not quite that easy. As @BippityBoppityBoo pointed out, the counties in which Omaha and Lincoln are located contain close to half the state’s population. Given that those two counties are in close proximity to each other, drawing lines as you suggest would be impossible. Not impossible. It just means that the lines would have to run through the population centers in order to put the same population in each horizontal stripe. Start one line at the southern border, and move it north until it encompasses 1/3 of the state’s population. Start the next line at the first line, and move it north until it encompasses the next 1/3. A districting like this is always possible, and in the specific case of Nebraska, would result in all three districts holding a comfortable Republican majority. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/actual-attempts-of-republicans-trying-to-steal-the-upcoming-presidential-election-in-2024/1007533)._
