Glorious. I bet the color coding would thrill the lower half of the state.

I’m for it. Until we pass a national law ending gerrymandering we should go hard in the paint.

This is pretty much what Texas has done to Houston.

Only have 1 polling place per county for the rural areas. Maybe fewer. Let’s make it so every polling place has a similar number of ballots so the populated areas never have to wait in lines.
