Interesting note for future Tom Delay vote-manipulator wannabees; study the methodology of Florida. They are getting the art of result-rigging down to a science and doing it pretty much legally...like this:

Currently, the Census Bureau counts prison inmates as residents of the congressional and state legislative districts in which they are incarcerated. This affects population data and, by extension, legislative redistricting.

Because Florida's prisons are disproportionately located in rural Republican areas, the inmate population increases the voting power of Republicans at the expense of Democrats.

Take, for example, Union County, a very rural county in northern Florida. In 2000, as measured by the Census Bureau, Union had a population of 13,442. Of this number, however, almost 4,000 -- a whopping 30 percent -- were inmates. Next door, Bradford County housed another 3,250 inmates.

Congress needs to make some changes to the way these folks are counted in the census, but don't hold your breath, after all it's only democracy we're talking about here, not anything really important, like our Republic.

Asshats.
