Sorry Chris. I honestly had never heard the term before and did not know it was that offensive much less deeply offensive. Please accept my apology for the joke I contributed.

As we know, many of these areas are just not ready for any type of districting format. It is fun to see how folks would carve things up though. As we move further out west, it becomes clear to me that the states covered are large in size and could be harder to district. For example - Colorado could be put with Texas but my goodness, the distance involved. I'm also keeping in mind that Texas, in my opinion, is no where near ready for districting in FRC, and I don't know that it would be welcomed immediately. Again, an opinion.
