Lawmakers in Charleston were buzzing this week after the release of
the Census 2000 numbers, wondering how new lines
might be drawn for elected positions. They say work will begin on the
situation shortly after the current legislative session is
over.
The Legislature redraws the lines every ten years, based on county
population. It will realign the state's three congressional
districts, districts for the l00-member House of Delegates and the
44-member Senate. Each congressional district must contain
about one-third of West Virginia's population.
Some prognosticators are predicting Calhoun may become part of Sen.
Alan Mollohan's district.
