It’s not just voting but all things political, Paul. When we lived in Roanoke Rapids, N.C., a town where school district boundaries are absolutely critical to real estate value and said boundaries have not been re-drawn since the time of the First World War, we looked at one home where the line passed through a corner of the house. We were told that the previous owners had to choose the children’s bedroom to place them in the [desireable] city school district.

As they say, you have to draw a line somewhere, but occasionally it starts to look like the surveyors also worked on the Berlin Wall.
