The funny shape is no doubt due to the way our politicians finagle town boundaries as a means to disenfranchise voters. The scheme is to "saturate" a town with voters who are known to be likely to vote one way, so that those voters cannot have an affect outside the "ghetto". Check out some of the bizarre setups in other polarized states such as North Carolina.
Coincidentally these funny shaped areas are primarily black, draw you own conclusions.
