US House Redistricting: Ohio

[Sam Spade]

The first thing I do now, is check where each Congressman lives. It turns out that Potts in PA-16 lives clear over in Eastern Chester County, even though most of his CD is in Lancaster County. What a bummer!  My PA CD map is going to look like a real mess - basically just a row of snakes in the central to eastern part of the state it looks like.

wrong thread cowboy...

It is interesting that NW Ohio trended heavily to the Dems in 2008, which the rest of the state either trended to the GOP, or had no trend. Next door Indiana trended evenly more heavily to the Dems. It would be interesting to speculate why the partisan trend went one way on one side of the imaginary line taking in NW Ohio and Indiana, and parts of Illinois and so forth, and the other way on the other its other side.

I think there are a few Al posts on this subject, if not a few Sam Spade ones too.

I really don't know why Boehner would want to play Russian Roulette by putting Jordan in his CD.  But who knows.
