If Michigan lost a congressional district, I'd probably like to see Conyers vs. Dingell, we all know who would win there!

How would that even work?   A Washtenaw to Detroit district?

You can't really eliminate a district from the edge of a state. If you eliminated a Philadelphia district you would either have a two Philadelphia districts, or one district, and most of two others. You can't get rid of a Buffalo or a Suffolk district, though they might have to expand.

If the goal is least change, one can determine how to transfer the population away from a removed district to the remaining districts. This will be near to the center of loss, and other districts will expand towards there.
The goal I have in mind is to get that crazy man out of office. But Levin vs Lawrence is probably the most likely

How would that even work?   A Washtenaw to Detroit district?
Uuuummmmm, Dearborn to Highland Park. Where did Washtenaw come from?

Oh,  you mean just putting where the Reps actually live in one district?
