Hilda Solis, the Labor nominee

Ms. Solis is the congressman from the 32nd district. Her district is also a gerrymandered disgrace but not quite as bad as the 31st or the 38th. Only 62% of her district is "Hispanic or Latino". After looking at her district I noticed that, just like the 31st and the 38th, the 32nd has a piece of East LA. Clearly, East LA, at about 100% (97.6% according to the census) "Hispanic or Latino" is the linchpin or keystone of many racially gerrymandered districts. It must be confusing as hell to live in East LA when you need to speak to your congressman.


When you look at these maps it is ridiculous how they manage to stretch back to take a slice of East LA (The very green area to the left in the image).
