Maybe. But I do not personally subscribe to conspiracy theories of such magnitude. We were doing a county commission redistricting, not a state house. When they did the District 7 one didn't a sitting county commissioner or two go to Panama City and testify in a public forum that those rural counties east of here had more in common with south Walton than north Walton?
Pretty common for those state and national districts to be gerrymandered. I think the ones in Walton were to some degree this last time, based on whose house was placed in which district. But with some solid numbers from a credible source, I do not see that happening again. There was way too much interest and a desire by the people to try to do something this last time. None of us were able to find what we thought was a way to make a change with legal standing. I thought the last redistricting occurred in 2001 after the census. I know it has to be done in odd years that is why we looked at it in 2007.
