That just assumed everyone from the state must be a Republican...?

And if any of the actual R's get into trouble, they'll suddenly be listed as D's.

(11,463 posts)6. Maybe, but some California reps are "D", but not many
ditto New York reps (that one looks really hacked in other ways -- like the 3rd one is "Egbert Benson" who is an 18th-19th century New York politician). Several other suspicious pictures, with no party affiliation or district listed, just the name -- maybe its Bing's search algorithm gone wild as far as those ones.
