Redistricting: Try This on for Size
One group's idea for new Congressional lines
By Lee Nichols, 9:34AM, Thu. Apr. 7, 2011
I'm currently at a hearing on redistricting at the Capitol, and a group called Texans for Redistricting Reform has its proposed map on display. Click on the photo to check out their idea for how Central Texas would be divvied up, including a District 10 entirely contained within Travis County and apparently holding most of Austin, if not all.
Note: This is NOT a map that has been proposed by the Legislature.
