Connecticut on British/Canadian districts

[Verily]

Based on the 2000 Census, Connecticut gets 34 districts, each containing somewhere around 102,000 people. Districts are based on town, with minimal town splitting; with only a handful of exceptions (Hamden, Danbury, Stamford obviously because it cuts off Greenwich), the only municipalities which were split were those too large to fit in a district by themselves (New Haven, Bridgeport, Waterbury, Hartford; Waterbury could technically have gotten its own district at ~107,000 people, but the yellow district next to it needed some population).

The districts on here range in size from 96370 to 108220; you could easily fix some of the bigger discrepancies with more town splitting. In fact, the largest and smallest districts abut one another. (The blue district containing New London is the largest; the yellow district to its west containing Old Saybrook is the smallest.)



I'll put a named map up tomorrow, then maybe I'll do the way each district voted in 2008.

And here's a version with no town lines, only district borders:

You can remove the thing about the fish dumb test by deleting the second image code, by the way. Most annoying thing about imageshack.

Thanks.

I'm an insomniac, so here's the labeled map. I know it's messy.

Very cool.  I'd like to contribute New Jersey, if that's cool.

I did a version of NJ (by municipality) at one point, although you're welcome to do another. New Jersey and the states of New England are much easier because you can divide by town; most states have large unincorporated areas, but all land in NJ and New England (outside of Maine) is incorporated.
