Geography

Michigan's beautiful Third Congressional District is home to the counties of Ionia, Barry, and Calhoun counties, along with parts of Kent and Montcalm counties.  The largest cities of the beauty includes Grand Rapids (192,294 people) and Battle Creek (51,848 people), but this district also contains little gems like Clarksville (399 people).

No seriously, this is all of Clarksville, there is nothing more.

Politics

Although some states are lucky enough to have political party breakdown by congressional district, Michigan is not one of these states.  I am not blaming anyone at all, but the Secretary of State of California has this data readily available, unlike our Secretary of State Ruth Johnson.  If you believe each state should have this information for everyone, feel free to send a comment to our lazy Secretary of State Ruth Johnson here.

Secretary of Not Enough Stats Available Ruth Johnson

The Third Congressional District has had a Republican Representative since 1990, and to give you an idea of the Democratic activity in this district, in 2012 the Democratic Primary a whopping 22,781 people voted.  This district has voted for the Republican Nominee for President every single time since 1992.
