My vote is for West Virginia's 2nd:
salamander:

Note the name duality of Elbridge's political party. This is a problem which transcends partisanship even though statistical analysis will show that democrats are the experts with this tactic.

My vote is Georgia's 4th district represented by the dis-honorable Cynthia McKinney

The 4th Congressional District of Georgia was created in December 1995 when a three-judge federal panel issued a map that dismantled two of the state's three majority-black districts drawn after the 1990 census. Under the new map, the 4th Congressional District encompasses most of DeKalb County and the southwest portion of Gwinnett County.

The district buttresses the City of Atlanta proper on the eastern border of the city. 87% of the district's population live in DeKalb County. Incorporated cities in DeKalb

County are:
Doraville
Chamblee
Clarkston
Decatur
Avondale Estates
Pine Lake
Stone Mountain
Lithonia

Unincorporated DeKalb County makes up the largest land parcel of the 4th District. A portion of Gwinnett County (Southwestern Gwinnett) is included in the district. The incorporated municipalities of Gwinnett County include Berkeley Lake and Norcross. The nothern most city limit of the city of Berkeley Lake marks the northern most border of the district in Gwinnett County. The district swings East and South over to, but does not including the City of Lilburn. Specifically, from the DeKalb-Gwinnett line on the north, the boundary follows Jones Mill Road up Crooked Creek to Holcomlb Bridge Road. The border takes a southerly turn following Highway 141 and up the Chattahoochee River around Berkeley Lake city limits to Gravitt Road. From Gravitt Road the boundary follows Old Norcross Road, Liddell Road south to Bromolow Creek to Beaver Ruin Creek and out onto Beaver Ruin Road to Burns Drive. Taking a westerly direction the boundary follows Dickens Road to Harbins Road, Williams Road to Rockbridge Road south to Jackson Creek. From Jackson Creek the border goes into Luckie Shoals Creek to the DeKalb County line just northeast of Tucker, Georgia.

I'd have to say the North Carolina 12th District is one of the most gerrymandered in the nation. I believe this district has been made for Mel Watt. I don't I couldgerrymander this badly even if I wanted to. The 1st district is pretty bad too.

No contest.... look at Santa Barbara County, California. Dear Congresswoman Capps has a district that runs along the ocean and captures bodies at Vandenberg Air Force Base and the Federal Penitentiary at Lompoc plus two colleges UCSB and Cal-Poly at San Luis Obispo. Is that safe... a batch of non-voters and a bunch of easily swayed mush-heads.

[JWinNC]

No contest. NC wins easy.

New York City has some beauties, especially the 3rd, 5th, 8th, 9th, 12th, 17th, and 18th.

Also, the 26th in upstate NY.

BUMP! You get the daily prize for most interesting post. And here I thought gerrymandering was illegal. Silly of me...

I wonder how hard it would be to codify some reasonable rules to limit things to reasonable shapes. To be sure, even that would allow some creative cartography, but it would limit how outrageous things could get. I'd like to see congressional districts required to be convex (except at state boundaries) and legislative districts be convex (except at county boundaries).
