Unless all the regions are both simply nested instead of partially overlapping and extremely conveniently sized with regard to population, this will at a minimum pretty consistently violate the Constitutional “one man, one vote” case law, and may often also be intractable.
For every administrative region within a state (county, parish, city, village, borough, ward, etc.), a proposed congressional district must meet one of the following criteria:
1. The congressional district is completely contained within that region. 2. The congressional district completely contains that region. or 3. The congressional district contains no part of that region.
