Indiana's Bizarre 4th District

  First, some warning.  The sight you are about to see, if you are brave enough to scroll down, is one of the most gruesome displays of gerrymandering ever to be unloosed on an unsuspecting populace outside of Texas.  Indiana's fourth district encompasses parts or all of the following counties:

• Boone
• Clinton
• Fountain
• Hendricks
• Johnson
• Lawrence
• Marion
• Monroe
• Montgomery
• Morgan
• Tippecanoe
• White

  Yes, that's right, from Monticello, where our current Congressman lives and, occasionally, visits to greet the people in the unemployment lines, on the banks of the Tippecanoe River amid the fertile loam of northern Indiana's flatlands, to the limestone quarries and cavern-laced hills of Bedford in our southern hill country, dodging back and forth whenever it spots a Democratic household.  Designed as the only possible way to keep a Republican in office, the time has come to remind the powers-that-be that no incumbent is safe when he ignores his constituents.  Okay, you've been prepared:  here it is!  (Map from Walter E.
