New Congressional Districts

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

New Congressional Districts

Post by PassiveObserver »

From West Virginia Watchdog:
Over a billion dollars has come to West Virginia thanks to the Recovery Act. $2,387,321 of that total is going towards eight fictional Congressional districts: the 54th, 9th, 4th, 6th, 12th, 13th, and 00.

Wow.

I'm distinctly not shocked that the only Democrat who answer Watchdog's query didn't even understand the complaint.

Cool site, though. I was unaware of it. Looks like a good site to watch. I'm sure Hoosier will not approve, though.

Since all three are held by families, the offices passed down from parent to sibling, they should call them not Districts but Fifedoms 88, 43 and 3.

So, is this "redistricting" Plan B since ACORN is banished from "helping out" with the 2010 census?

I thought District 00 was for the voters that reside in the cemeteries throughout the state. :twisted:

You are correct.
I will get 113,000 votes in Logan County alone.
