Naming the districts

CA-1: Redwood Empire
CA-2: Shasta Cascade
CA-3: Gold Country
CA-4: High Sierra

California is hard. I'll do some easier state now.

These are not Westminster style names. These are the kind of names the Chamber of Commerce would pick - basically insults to intelligence.

You think America would pick Westminster-style names?

Alaska does for State House districts, well mostly.

Ohio has already been done, so I picked a fairly easy one:

CT-1: Hartford
CT-2: East Connecticut
CT-3: New Haven
CT-4: Bridgeport & South West Connecticut
CT-5: North West Connecticut

That sounds accurate.
