Sources and methodology
ShowHideWhere the district lines and seat counts come from.
District lines come from the U.S. Census Bureau's lower chamber boundary file (Cartographic boundary files, state legislative districts), which maps the districts the state reported to the Census Bureau. Where a state has redrawn its districts since then, the state's own maps are the official ones. District names are the Census Bureau's.
Census Bureau district name: State House District 79 (GEOID 17079).
