Weighted Voting For Congress

Tennessee is so cringeworthy in this thread. I recognize that population sizes and the constraints of even these more flexible guidelines leave little alternative, but as a community, it is West Tennessee that is distinct, not East Tennessee. West Tennessee, and really not even all of West Tennessee, is part of the historical Lower South. Cotton, slaves, the whole Gone With the Wind narrative. The rest of the state is, historically, to paraphrase Chris Rock "a bunch of broke a$$ white people, living in the trailer, listening to John Cougar Melloncamp records. I realize if we are to split Tennessee in half, for the purposes of hypothetical apportionment, we can't have just a dozen counties for one half of the state, so I would suggest drawing the line, just east of Metro Nashville. That at least puts the Cumberland Plateau in its logical place in the eastern half of the state, and further allows for one Western half that is more urban and one Eastern half that is less urban in accordance with the major difference with how people live today.
