Worst Gerrymandering Ever?
Today at work I was mapping state house and senate districts to counties or congressional districts of certain states. I was going through Mississippi house districts and I found what I think is the worst case of gerrymandering that I've ever seen:

Rachel, who is from Mississippi and very into Mississippi politics, tells me this plan came about because the state didn't get a plan together fast enough and the Justice Department intervened.
The above district is congruent because it's held together by a road or something very small (see the arrow). It might even be considered worse than the North Carolina 12th Congressional District.

It is even worse that the Texas 32nd Congressional District, where I live.
