Seems like an odd way to divide the map. The east side looks pretty good, but the west looks really weird.

THis map is as gerrymandered as the state maps we want to get rid of. I would not support this redistrcting.

Districts should be compact and maintain existing governement subdivisions as possible (ie. cities and towns). This map does the oppostire on both fronts.
