[edit] Georgia congressional district maps

Thanks for noticing my contributions. Hopefully I've helped clear up confusion about the new districts at least a bit. You might never guess by looking at my user page, but I'm actually a Georgia resident. As far as the above discussion goes (although I guess it's mostly moot by now), I'd agree with your first response, and argue that the new districts were effective as soon as they were legislated. The reason being that while the then still-in-session 109th Congress was elected by constituents of the old districts, it would be the constituents of the new districts who would determine in the next regularly scheduled election whether or not each representative would return for the 110th. Thus, voters grouped together by the new boundaries were already effectively "represented" by those they did not necessarily elect. On the other hand, it doesn't hurt to make a distinction like "adopted 2005, effected 2006" or somesuch. BTW, I hope you don't mind if I grab the maps linked above to add as secondary sources to Georgia Congressional Districts. Cheers! -Tobogganoggin ^talk 00:04, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
