Welcome to IWETHEY!

New And then you can have NC's 12th Congressional district.
It looks like [link|http://www.senate.leg.state.mn.us/departments/scr/redist/redsum/NCSUM.HTM|this].
Known as the "I-85 district," the12th stretched 160 miles across the central Piedmont region of the State, for part of its length no wider than the freeway right-of-way.

When fascism comes to America, it'll be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross. -- Sinclair Lewis
New True dat, but...
with proportional voting schemes, gerrymandering goes away as an issue. So there is no incentive for creating such weird districts.

Cheers,

I have come to believe that idealism without discipline is a quick road to disaster, while discipline without idealism is pointless. -- Aaron Ward (my brother)
     Weird proposal to allow DC a vote in the House. - (Another Scott) - (26)
         Obviously setup to keep the balance. - (JayMehaffey) - (24)
             Permanently at large congress members could be good - (ben_tilly) - (23)
                 I don't like that idea. - (Another Scott) - (6)
                     An at large must pander to the strident majority - (boxley) - (1)
                         ? That's not the way it works in DC. - (Another Scott)
                     I don't like it, either - (jb4) - (3)
                         who programs the computer? -NT - (boxley) - (2)
                             adminiScott! - (jb4)
                             The algorithm would have to be public - (JayMehaffey)
                 Making them all at large might be OK - (JayMehaffey) - (15)
                     Don't tell me...you're an Engineer, right? -NT - (jb4)
                     Alaska is a perfect example of why that doesnt work - (boxley) - (13)
                         See Another Scott's comments about DC - (ben_tilly) - (10)
                             must be missing something - (boxley) - (9)
                                 Yes, you must :-) - (ben_tilly) - (8)
                                     And then you can have NC's 12th Congressional district. - (a6l6e6x) - (1)
                                         True dat, but... - (ben_tilly)
                                     doesnt work that way - (boxley) - (5)
                                         How many "at large" votes does each person have? - (ben_tilly) - (3)
                                             if you have 2 at large seats ya have one vote for both seats - (boxley) - (2)
                                                 One vote per seat works IF - (ben_tilly) - (1)
                                                     You OBVIOUSLY don't live in Chicago.... -NT - (jb4)
                                         Problem is *not enough* at -large seats - (drewk)
                         Which is why I don't both house to be that way - (JayMehaffey) - (1)
                             Right now neither house has proportional distribution -NT - (ben_tilly)
         Looks less likely it'll happen this year. - (Another Scott)
