Campaigning in Alaska

[solarstorm]

What happens if Alaska gets a second congressional district?
I'd guess CD-1 would embrace Anchorage and the "rest" would be CD-2.
Would there be any campaigning possible for a House candidate? The results in CD-2 would be like random.
If Alaska even chooses to implement the NE-ME-method for presidential elections, Election Night in Alaska would eventually become extremely exciting.

Unless the size of the House were considerably increased, even if Alaska were to have greater population growth than it currently has, I can't see Alaska getting a second district before the 2050 census.  At current rates, it probably would be the 2080 census.  So, not exactly something to be worried about.

But you have to admit that campaigning in the bigger district would be impossible, wouldn't it?

I assume whichever CD had the Mat-Su valley would vote R, and the other one would be swingy.

40% of all Alaskans live in Anchorage. (ElectionGuy once made a map about the share of the biggest city in each state.)
Thus I think that Mat-Su would be split into two congressional districts.

We have so many map experts here. Doesn't anyone want to make an Alaskan map with two CD's?
