At the last redistricting. 2002, I think. Pretty pointless question.

In 1983. There might have been some minor changes in 1997 but that hardly counts.

2002, which I assume will be the answer for the vast majority of forumers.

Only those who live in states with one congressional district might actually have a different answer. Well, them and you foreigners... Smiley

2002 vastly changed the nature of the district from just basically a Northeast PA swing district to a solid GOP district sprawling from the New Jersey border to Central PA.

No way. Your district may have been close, but the district had to be reapportioned to some degree to account for population shifts.

Probably, or at least that's what I assumed when I started.  But light Googling didn't turn anything up.

What district do you live in? My library has a great reference book on Congress, with CD maps; I'll check next time I go.

I think the question would be better phrased what changes were made to your district since the last re-districting.

Anyway in NY-3 the district use to be only in Nassau County, in 02 the district added the immediate south shore in western Suffolk County.  The district border ran in a way to move the heavily white GOP areas into the 3rd district from the 2nd, while keeping the more Democratic and in some cases minority areas in the 2nd district.  The 3rd district sent a portion of east central Nassau county (Plainview, Syosset area) into the 2nd.  This moved some upper middle class heavily Democratic and Jewish areas from the 3rd into the 2nd.  the district also added on a very thin slice of the immediate north shore in Nassau from the 5th.  Also a swap of areas in central Nassau county.  The 3rd & 4th district swapped some areas, the 3rd took in the heavily white fairly Republican Levittown area which was in the 4th, while the 4th took some more diverse and Democratic areas such as portions of Baldwin and Freeport from the 3rd.

My district was virtually unchanged. I suspect a few inner suburban precincts were added. My old district MN-01 is much more interesting, it went from the entire southeastern part of Minnesota to a district sprawling across all of southern Minnesota two counties tall. This made it slightly more Republican but not enough to save a GOP incumbent in a wave year obviously.

2003 for the 2004 election. Small changes. The district was created in 1987.

As far as I can tell, 2003. District adopted its current name in 1973, before that it was Ottawa-East.

Ille-et-Vilaine 7 adopted its current boundaries in 1986, like all French constituencies in the Pasqua redistricting. Before that, the district containing Saint-Malo was the 6th constituency, which included 2 more cantons than Ille-et-Vilaine 7. The 6th constituency had adopted its boundaries in 1958.

VA-02 used to be only Virginia Beach and part of Norfolk. In 2002, they chopped out some (probably Democratic) precincts in Norfolk, added some precincts in Hampton, and also added Accomack and Northampton Counties on the Eastern Shore.

2003 for the 2004 election, and that was our regular redistricting.  Maine is weird.

My congressional district (ME-01, the one that includes Portland) lost (from northeast to southwest) Clinton, Benton, Winslow, Waterville and Oakland in northern/northeastern Kennebec County (Benton and Clinton had stuck out into CD-2 a bit), Fayette in northwestern Kennebec County (which had bordered CD-2 on three sides and now just borders CD-1 on one side) and Litchfield in southwestern Kennebec County, but gained China, Albion and Unity Township in northeastern Kennebec County (the latter two, particularly UT, stick out now) and Monmouth in western Kennebec County (making Litchfield stick out, bordering CD-1 on more than three sides although the two other towns in it's school district are in Androscoggin County and have been in CD-2 since Maine lost it's third district; most of Maine's school districts are in the process of being forcibly - on pain of losing state aid - consolidated, and people are NOT happy about the way it is being done).
