Cool - A "Do-It-Yourself Redistricting Kit" for Washington State...that might get *used*!

"The Redistricting Commission wants to know what you think about redrawing the legislative and congressional lines in Washington state.
You can submit your own redistricting plan. All plans are due by August 15, 2011." Read the rest here

I love this! I'll be working on the Lorena Redistricting Plan over the next month...what a great way to brush up on my Google Earth skills and think a little about what redistricting is all about...
