For Joe Neguse is an effective Representative.

A Few Questions:

(1) Can someone(anyone) please explain how 'redistricting' actually works?

(2) Do normal folks congregate within others of their same political ideologies OR are they asked to move to within specific areas so that a group of similar-minded folks live and work together?

(3) In time (as lives evolve) how does re-mapping an area for political reasons serve any useful purpose?

(4) After a 'redistricting' event, are folks forced to 'stay' in that area OR can they move as they find necessary?

(5) Now as folks move from within that re-set area, what purpose does 'redistricting' provide?

Appears (to me at least), that 'redistricting' would always be 'out-of-date'.

Population within an area, theoretically. Each district is supposed to have the number of people based on the decennial census. It stays that way until the next census. Each district has its House rep.

If people move, the register in the new district and vote there. Redistricting is the process of adjusting for the changes that occurred in the past ten years according to the census, which is why an accurate count matters.

And thank you for your response:

Political advantage right down to the street address.

we had Polis for years..another good one. Grand County has been in Boulder's district and the rednecks in my county have been whining about it for years.

I'm happy with remaining in the second district and have written letters and attended meetings on the issue when it appeared we were going to the 3rd... Looks like we're staying put. Yay!!!!
