The district in question is a perfect example of affirmative action run amok. Detroit has been losing population for 30 years so whenever the district lines are redrawn, the courts here have mandated that instead of just giving Detroit fewer districts, the outlying parts of Detroit had to be combined with the adjacent suburbs which effectively keeps Detroit's number of representatives the same even with the population loss. District 1 has some of the poorest, most run down neighborhoods in the country combined with one of the richest suburban areas in the country. Of course, the Detroiters outnumber the suburbanites so this convicted felon is going to be voted in by the race pimps in the City but is going to represent the wealthy suburbanites who want nothing to do with him.
