2008 State Population Estimates

[minionofmidas]

When the block-level census redistricting data is released in the spring of 2011, someone ought to divide Wyoming (the state with the smallest population as of the 2000 census and most likely now) into 386 hypothetical congressional districts (the most any state could have with 435 U.S. Representatives and 49 other states that all have to have at least one Representative) just for the fun of it.  I mean, what if some error is found in the census papers for every other state that requires their resident populations to all be recorded as zero?    I wonder how many 1/386ths of Wyoming the Democrats could be competitive in, particularly if the Republican-dominated state government engaged in partisan redistricting?  The Democrats would definitely start championing the Maine-Nebraska method of electoral vote allocation in this surreal scenario.

Lol. I might do that.
