Bozeman Daily Chronicle (10/21/21) on Montana Narrowing Down Its Options (MONTANA)

Montana will be gaining a second seat in the U.S. House, requiring a decision on where to draw the (squiggly) line between districts. As the Bozeman Daily Chronicle reports, the state's districting commission has put forward two maps, one favored by Republicans and the other by Democrats (hat tip Daily Kos). Both maps are shown with the linked article. Each map divides roughly the westernmost one-fifth of the state from the easternmost four-fifths. The difference is in where specifically the squiggles go. The final decision on a map rests with the commission, as described here.
