Massachusetts can run for the Senate in New York. I
|
|
2
|
think that's a bad setup. I agree with Marvin.

DELEGATE EMANUEL: You came close to having
|
|
4
|
Wallace here.

DELEGATE KIRCHER: Many sections of the
|
|
6
|
Constitution say it should be compact and contiguous.
|
|

|
However, putting all these things together, the repre-
|
|
8
|
sentative can come from the other end of town or the
|
|
9
|
other end of the State, and I don't think it follows.
|
|
10
|
I think it would be contradictory. I think if you're
|
|
11
|
going to make them compact, contiguous and get a unanimitty
|
|
12
|
of interest, you should have a representative from that
|
|
13
|
district.

DELEGATE HANDEL: I think a representative
|
|
15
|
should be available to the people he represents. I think
|
|
16
|
this is very important. He should be right available to
|
|
17
|
those people and, if you had a man in Baltimore County,
|
|
18
|
for example, elected in Baltimore City, I think that
|
|
19
|
availability stops at that point.

THE CHAIRMAN: Does it sometimes lead to
|
|
21
|
gerrymandering, when you have to redistrict to keep them
