You'll notice the high number of California Naes. I think this can be attributed to anti-Latino sentiments versus the more traditional black hatred you find with your southeastern Members of Congress. And, of course, Indiana doesn't fail to disappoint.
If you or someone you know lives in one of these districts, I think it's important to note that your representative doesn't think you have the right to vote.
