• The article is certainly too long at present and the district descriptions are not necessary in this article. Splitting it might work, with this article including, say, a table listing the senator and assemblymembers from each district (with perhaps the county names but no lists of municipalities). If a new article is created, I'd suggest it be called New Jersey Legislative districts, 2002-2012 rather than New Jersey Legislative Districts, 2001 redistricting (note the capitalization, as well as the text change). -- Lincolnite 15:50, 8 April 2007 (UTC) reply

• Oppose The listing of municipalities is directly relevant to the individual districts. Splitting the information off to a separate article would mean that few (if any readers) would ever make use of the information. With the change of the municipality listings to paragraph format, teh length has been drastically reduced. Alansohn 22:00, 8 April 2007 (UTC) reply

• Support While informative we should remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a directory (see WP:NOT#DIR). The legislative district information needlessly clutters up the article and should be removed.-- Jersey Devil 01:17, 3 August 2007 (UTC) reply

• Support - I had suggested the "2001 redistricting" name. Perhaps the 2002-2012 date based on representative terms would be more clear. Proper links should allow people to find the districts. -- ChrisRuvolo ( t) 16:50, 3 August 2007 (UTC) reply

I checked the legislature website or constitution of all 50 states. Only in the seven states listed do the House and Senate districts share the exact same borders.

If you disagree with this, please point us to appropriate counterexample references.

Perhaps my wording "coincide as a single constituency" was unclear, so I've rephrased it.

New Jersey is one of only seven U.S. states (with Arizona, Idaho, Maryland, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Washington) in which the upper and lower house districts coincide as a single constituency.

This is the worst writing I've seen on wikipedia, it reads like a 4th grader's school report:

"Would that be fair? No it would be fair, because there would be no equal power between people voting for and against others like fighting, I disagree with fighting and going against one another. Regardless of any changes, the Legislature met infrequently, had high turnover among its members, and was far from being the most influential or powerful organ of state government.

What History we have today? I wounder what it was like a long time ago."

Looks like those edits were introduced in November.  :( Reverted them. -- ChrisRuvolo ( t) 19:24, 9 January 2012 (UTC) reply
