they have to redraw districts when there is a new census...the county quorum court here managed to re-draw all the lines, yet somehow managed to keep every incumbent in a district. that way no incumbent has to run against a fellow court member. absolutely fascinating.

Look up gerrymandering on-line, and you get directed to our fair state. Take a look at this district, if you can stomach it:

"Florida's 23rd Congressional district was featured in a Slate publication titled, 'The Most Gerrymandered Congressional Districts.' There were 20 districts featured from across the country."
