Could someone help me understand this section?

"As a Green, you want to draw up districts such that Green politicians win with 55% of the vote—with some room for error, but not all that much—and for Orange politicians to win with 100% of the vote.

SIMPLICIO: Ah, so that the Orange politicians won’t need to be responsive to Orange voters because their re-election is nearly guaranteed, right?"

Did Simplicio mean to say GREEN politicians? The gerrymandering arrangement sets the bar lower for Greens to win (55%) than Oranges (100%), so Green re-election is what's nearly guaranteed.
