| | Summary Description of California's 1990s Congressional Districts |
| | In the 1980s redistricting, the northern half of this district (Inyo County) was lumped together with most of Kern and San Luis Obispo counties and a sliver of Republican Los Angeles County to form a wildly gerrymandered district (the 20th) meant to concentrate Republicans. | | | In the 1980s redistricting, this district was part of a desperate gerrymander meant to preserve at least one Democratic congressional seat from Orange County. | | | The district could fall in either political camp: it elects moderate Democrats to Congress but tends to vote Republican in statewide races. |

| | Georgia's proposed congressional districts... : PrisonersoftheCensus |
| | State legislators in Georgia are currently redrawing the districts of Georgia's Congressional delegation, but by relying on Census data that counts prisoners as residents of the prison location, they are unwittingly diluting the votes of Georgia residents who do not live near prisons. | | | In order to comply with the Supreme Court's One Person One Vote rule and to ensure that each resident has the same access to government, congressional districts much each contain the same number of residents Unlike state legislative districts, Congressional districts must be exactly equal in size. | | | If Georgia's legislators really want to draw districts that truly weigh all parts of the state equally, they need better data. |
