Why You Can't Use 2000 Data for Redistricting

I've been vaguely paying attention to the redistricting fight happening at the County Commission. Since I play with maps and the new 2010 census data came out, I figured showing the changes may be useful. Also, I support the 13 individual member districts. Maybe the County Commission can show the City Council that redistricting can be done right.

As you can see there have been plenty of changes.
