These are (roughly) Kentucky's districts. Population-wise maybe it makes sense. Demographic-wise, it's nonsense. The folks in Hickman County (far west river county) and the folks in Casey County (land locked central Kentucky) have virtually nothing in common and about 300 miles in between. But they're in the same Congressional district.

And the bad part is Kentucky's districts aren't even bad compared to most states.
