West Virginia legislators have begun their listening tour to receive public comment on how to redraw legislative and congressional district boundaries after the Census Bureau releases detailed population data next month.
The first stop on the tour was Tuesday night in Winfield, where Putnam County residents said they wanted district lines drawn so the county would have more representation in the Legislature. Four of the five House of Delegate districts that include parts of Putnam County also extend into other counties, residents said.
That sounded similar to what Mason County residents said a couple of decades ago, when their county was divided up so that it had no residents in the House. Instead, its delegates all lived in neighboring counties.
