    That’s not true, like at all.

    There is a world of cultural difference between NY residents, Texas residents, and Oregon residents.

    In fact, there’s about 5 distinct socio-economic regions in the US.

      There is a world of cultural difference between NY residents, Texas residents, and Oregon residents.

      There is a world of difference between Houston’s Third Ward, River Oaks, and Spring. Nevermind the difference between Sugar Land, The Woodlands, and Pearland. Or Austin, San Antonio, and San Angelo.

      Where do you draw the line? Even Republican gerrymandering experts struggle with this question.

      In fact, there’s about 5 distinct socio-economic regions in the US.

      Far more than that, if you’re looking closely

        No, its really about 5, distinct, socioeconomic regions in the US.

        For example, the Great Lakes Region, the Pacific Northwest, Plains Region, etc.
