What Congressional District are you from?

[ElectionsGuy]

TN-3, an extremely blatant (Republican) gerrymander. I mean, look at it, it runs all the way from the Georgia border (near Chattanooga) all the way up to the Kentucky border, in a sparsely-populated region nowhere near the Chattanooga metro area. My hometown, Oak Ridge, is in a little strip of the district connecting the northern end and the southern end. This separates it from Knoxville, which is where everybody goes shopping, and also the home of the local TV and radio stations we watch and listen to. If anyone here reads a newspaper other than the really local ones, it's almost always the Knoxville News-Sentinel. I mean, good grief! Nobody here reads the Chattanooga Times-Free Press, and there are only two radio stations that (kind of) come in here from the Chattanooga area. And before anyone starts talking about how congressional district sizes don't match up with media markets/metropolitan areas, let me note that the large parts of the Chattanooga market are in the Fourth District, and the Knoxville market is split between the Second, Third, and Fourth Districts!
It sure seems like the legislature is trying to split up media markets to minimize local news coverage of congressional races in people's areas so that they'll keep voting the party line.

As for my Congressman, Chuck Fleischmann, he's a partisan tool if I've ever seen one.

Sorry for the rant, I just started typing and I ended up with all that.

You should be glad they didn't gerrymander Nashville because they could've easily done that. I feel sorry about the local newspapers and TV stations, but it's what happens sometimes unfortunately.

Here is some more info on my district.

Michigan 11th congress district represented by Kerry bentivolio, Republican, Milford, Michigan. The district is R+4 and includes Northwestern Wayne county and western and central eastern Oakland. Including the suburb cities of Livonia, Canton, Troy, Waterford, Novi, and Commerce Twp that have more than 50,000 people. The district is now mostly middle class/upper middle class suburbs, new suburbs and exburbs with some rural area. The district is mostly white 82% with 7.6% Asian, and 5% black. Canton is the most diverse city with a large Asian population (14.1%) and Black (10.2%) Auburn Hills also is 18.5% black and 8.9% Asian. The district lost most of its more working class cities like Westland, Wayne, Garden City, Van buren twp and Redford twp all in Wayne county. It picked up several well off suburbs including one of the richest areas Bloomfield hills.

Considering the location and the demographics, I'm surprised it's not a D-leaning district.

I believe the area is rather exurban.

Also, should you the district you were born in or the district you live in now?

Also, should you the district you were born in or the district you live in now?

While earlier ones might be interesting, they also would be more difficult to find.  I was probably born in Florida-4 (Dante Fascell) which shortly thereafter became Florida-12 when Florida did a mid-census redistricting following the one-man one-vote rulings.  There's a chance I was born in Florida-3 (Claude Pepper) which became Florida-11.  Indeed, the hospital I was born in was likely in Pepper's district, but the home I lived in was almost certainly in Fascell's,

However, almost all of my life has been spent in South Carolina-2.
