[EL] Evenwel question

[Jason Torchinsky]

A handful of states adjust from the U.S. Census numbers for prison population.  See here:  http://www.prisonersofthecensus.org/solutions.html#states

Their research indicates that a number of local jurisdictions simply disregard prison population.

Subject: [EL] Evenwel question

I apologize if the answer to this is somewhere in the pleadings, but I haven't run across it and was hoping some of you would know:

How many, if any, states currently use anything other than total population (census #s) to draw roughly equal districts for election to state office?  To draw congressional districts?  Has the practice changed at all over the past half-century, since Wesberry/Reynolds/Burns?

Thanks in advance.
