District .357

I always thought we weren't supposed to judge other Americans based on race, creed, religious affiliation, favorite Game of Thrones character, or color of one's skin yet that's pretty much how we determine our voting districts. Well, says I, why not just split states into districts according to number of voters, regardless of whether they're left-handed or can recite "Old Man River" in Urdu. I'll betcha the results couldn't be any worse than what we have now.

I think it more likely he would have put the ghetto on the south side of town. That's where they always seem to be and Republicans don't like to buck tradition.

If they're using the silhouette of a revolver, they must be truly old school repubs, the newer generation would be using a M-16 (or better) as their guide even though it would make for some very narrow corridors of voters.

Have you ever seen the districting in Florida before the Rebs were forced to alter it? Some stretches were one block wide for miles.

You know a total randomization of voting blocs like that could be a step toward real third parties. A politician who has to appeal to both scared whites and scary others is just not gonna fit the current mold.
