Thanks for that. First time I've seen Lillith's middle name, I thought the "M." stood for Martin, her maiden name... Carrite (talk) 02:33, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Alaska legislator articles

I do appreciate your creating these, saving me some time. However, there is one big issue which needs addressing. This has been an ongoing problem, long before these contributions. Basically, Alaska legislative districts are being treated the same as congressional districts WRT redistricting. For example, found in Doug Isaacson:

2012 With Republican Representative Kyle Johansen running for the District 33 seat as an Independent, Isaacson won the District 1 four-way August 28, 2012 Republican Primary with 770 votes (34.09%)

If I'm reading this correctly, the distance between North Pole, where Isaacson lives, and Ketchikan, where Johansen lives, is roughly the same as the distance between Denver, Colorado and Rockford, Illinois. How can you credibly state that these are the same legislative constituencies? You can't; all you're going by is the fact that these districts bear the same number. Yet, this same mistake is repeated in each article. The only exception was with Bennie Nageak, as that district number remained the same. The Alaska Division of Elections website carries abundant information which shows the obvious differences in districts from one redistricting cycle to the next. As it stands now, this is just so much original research, though like I said, you're not the only one who has made this mistake. Cheers.
