1501 - No BS

There was an editorial in the local newspaper. It was about the congressional redistricting that's going on right now. It lead me to a website at Columbia Law School. They have done a redistricting map for this go round without the partisanship BS.


A nonpartisan map of all 435 congressional districts in the nation has never been drawn. The widespread diffusion of redistricting technology and data and the training of a group of students dedicated to that purpose has made such a map possible for the first time. DrawCongress.org represents the first attempt to create an internet depository for nonpartisan congressional maps for the entire country.

If you want to see how your state would look go to THE MAP and click on your state.

Makes sense geographically but my district even after the non-partisan drawing would still be red. Cheers Mike!!

MM - I think mine would flip from red to blue.
