Connecting Elizabeth with Hudson County across Newark Bay is still cheating. There's no land route between the two without passing through Newark (or Staten Island).

Yes, the redistricting commission has been fine with it in the past. I'm not.

How about these?

VA-03 illustrates the challenge of drawing a majority-black seat in Virginia. There's not a large enough black population for a Richmond-based seat, nor for a Hampton Roads-based seat (you might be able to draw one in Hampton Roads, but it would probably be about 51% black), so you have to connect the two.
