One district obviously has to, more than half the population being west of the mountains. And you're not going to avoid using Addison County, except by splitting Burlington, drawing part with Addison and part with Barre/Montpelier. You could trade out Orange for the remainder of Washington and parts of Lamoille. Or even put Lamoille into the northeast district and walk the Burlington seat north to get Shelburne into the Montpelier to Addison district, maybe.




I think the bolded option is preferable, as it avoids both the east-west stretch from Addison to Orange and the three-way split of Chittenden.

142 Dinuba - Woodlake Junction - Exeter 101131, 73h-24w, 56.6% McCain, 60.7% Whitman
143 Visalia 97826, 49h-41w, 57.8% McCain, 61.2% Whitman, White VAP plurality
144 Tulare 101208, 51h-41w, 60.7% McCain, 64.2% Whitman, White VAP plurality
145 Porterville 101925, 61h-32w, 56.5% McCain, 55.3% Whitman

You're not drawing a genuine Hispanic opportunity in Tulare County without splitting the cities up. 142 and 145 will probably elect Azorean Republicans, though.
What is an Azorean Republican?

A Republican of Azorean ancestry, of course.

In Central California?


Yes indeed. Congressman Devin Nunes would be one such example.
