Kentucky Counties by District project[edit]

I have manually made a listing for the counties of the 1st district, using the map in the Article. I'm hoping people from the other five districts will help me finish the task.

Eventually WikiProject Kentucky may develop a comprehensive improvement to the List of Kentucky counties. In the meantime, we will be working things like this through on our Almanac worksheet. See the Counties by District section for more information. -- CQ 02:50, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gerrymandering Comment[edit]

The idea that the Republican's gerrymandered the first district is ridiculous. The article even says that the Democrats hold a 2-1 edge in registration, how is that gerrymandering? At the time democrats controlled every part of the state government which they had ever since Louie B. Nunn back in the 1970. In 1993 there were Democrats & 14 Republicans in the Senate; In the House there were 71 Democrats & 29 Republicans. The reason why there was a redistricting was the loss of the Kentucky's 7th congressional district. The Democrat plan in 1993 was to redistrict the state so instead of the 4-3 democrat majority in congress, they could be competitive in all 6 districts and possibly shut out the Republicans. History shouldn't be rewritten for the gerrymandering that was orchestrated by the Democrats because it backfired. -- ralexjordan 19:54, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
