The first approach led to the formation, for
example, of the 19th district, which has been
represented by liberal, pro-labor Chet Holifield (D) for many years. After the 1950 census, the 19th district was drawn to include a
population twice the size of other, Republicandominated districts.

the claw-shaped 26th district, represented by
Jimmy Roosevelt (D). The bizarre outline of
