[edit] Gerrymander?

The district hardly looks compact, so what is the reason for its pecular shape?

• United States congressional districts, O anonymous one, do not have to be and rarely are compact. They are usually designed by partisan state governments for the benefit of their Representatives. —Markles 12:31, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] West Hartford?

I may be wrong, but isn't West Hartford part of the district? I don't see it on the list of municipalities.

It's on the list. Schi 06:18, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

D'oh--sorry. It was hiding. Or something.
