That caramelized pineapple mayo is on point!

I can't even envision what that would taste like.
I'm sure it tastes good.  Like candy and fat.

In the south end of the Appalacian Mountains, south of Tennessee?


It's NW Georgia. Surrounded by other red districts. 

I wouldn't be surprised if Georgia does some hijinks, but I don't think it's there. SC does have some interesting stuff with it's one blue district. They flipped Charleston into it after that coastal district flipped for one cycle.

Yeah. That's a weird one to me.
I wonder if that's to make a more concentrated blue district? Grab some blue enclaves and clump them with a minority-heavy area SE of Lake Okeechobee.

This is usually the incentive to draw weird districts, put all of one party in one+ district making the rest for the other party.  Georgia's districts LOOK pretty normal, to me.

I believe it's an earnest effort at fairness.

An area can be 60/40 for one party and depending how the districts are drawn, it's about 60/40 in each one.  So as a collective, the 60 wins 100% of the districts and the 40 aren't represented.

If there's like 5 districts in the area, it's more "fair" to draw them in a way that the 40% wins 2 of them, so that they're represented by 40% of those 5 districts in the area.

Idk if it's ethical in a vacuum, but I understand it.

It's kinda funny to see several metro Atlanta counties classified as Appalachia.  They did exclude Fulton, Cobb, and Dekalb, but then included Gwinett, which will soon be the largest population county in the state with over a million residents.  I'd guess this map is old and never was updated, if it means anything.




I'm not sure what the population has to do with whether or not it is hilly.

Unless of course they flattened it all when they installed the subdivisions.

Fulton is hillier than Gwinnett. By far.

The hills in SE Ohio we use to hunt back in the day (well,actually excersizing,observing wildlife and enjoying the great outdoors). We knew them as Appalachia they were part of the Allegheny Mountain Plateau,that were a shoot off or subdivision of Appalachians. All the same mountain range just called different things depending where you are. Kind of like a bowl of Chili

I'd guess the Appalachian county map is old and based on some combination of general geographic features and lack of urban populations.  Today, Gwinett county is the second largest county in the state by population and will be first in a few years.  It's suburban ATL.
