Scope and Contents

The text is a response from man Dick Armey to a question about the shape of National districts. Armey explains that oddly shaped districts are often a result of redistricting for political gain, but can also be necessary to comply with the "one person, one vote" rule. He encourages further questions and suggests utilizing resources at the local library for more information.
