[EL] Congressional districts at 50,000 people.

[Justin Levitt]

Hi, all.

I've been approached by an organization asked to do the national mapping 
for a project envisioning what lawful congressional districts would look 
like if each congressional district had 50,000 people (districts 
currently range from 526,000 in RI to 989,000 in MT).  The project is 
connected to advocates for a constitutional amendment aimed at a 
50,000-person threshold, along the lines of some early versions of the 
proposed (and never-adopted) First Amendment.  They're apparently 
looking for assistance with a white paper explaining the approach 
undertaken for the mapping.  There may be some funding available (I am 
not aware of either the resources or the terms).

This is not a project to which I'm connected in any way ... but I 
offered to forward on the request.  If you're interested in helping with 
the white paper, *_please respond to me off-list_*, and I'll happily 
connect you with the organizers.

Justin
