Dear subscribers Map-Listserv,
With reference to a recent news release, I take pleasure informing you

This map is the creation of Neil Freeman, who noted that the current 50
states have populations ranging from a half million to 33 million.
This Electoral Reform Map redivides the territory of the United
States into 50 bodies of equal size – 281,421,906 divided by 50 is
5,616,997. This map shows one possible way to redraw the fifty
states… The map was laid out with no political orientation or
wealth. As a result, states may be favor one or the other parties.
In a U.S. Senate based on this map, each Senator would represent the
same number of constituents."
I trust this information is sufficient for your purposes, in case you
require any additional details, please do not hesitate to contact the
undersigned.
Yours sincerely,
Cordiali Saluti
Marzio Veneman
