Every good political dust-up has a moniker. Watergate. Iran contra. Sal Pace (D-Urination). In an effort to clearly communicate the unsavory and unethical way in which Democrats forced through politically vindictive reapportionment maps we are hosting a contest for our readers.
A process that has "disappointed" even Governor Hickenlooper deserves a good turn of phrase.
Give us your best reapportionment moniker that sums up the shenanigans pulled by Democrats and "wolf in sheep's clothing" Chairman Mario Carrera.
To kick off the contest, we've included a few of our own suggestions. We will announce the winner's scandal sobriquet on Friday.

Because the only scandal is what big fucking babies and sore losers you all are.
You mean like you all cried for years about the Midnight Gerrymander? Wow! Lefties are unbelievable hypocrites.
“Hypocrisy” is the act of engaging in behavior that one decries in others.
Even if I had ever complained about it (untrue – I was living in another state ten years ago), it wouldn’t hold water because the GOP, as they seem to do, pulled an illegal maneuver, while the Dems did nothing of the sort.
Please note all the GOP complaints of shenanigans that can’t cite a single law being broken.
Ya fucking babyshit dummy.
