20K: rigged 50/50 would leave AK & MT. Considering area given, probably AK. But I'd call +1 too.

It's pretty simple. Both Alaska and Montana have only one congressional district. Since Alaska is the largest state, its district is larger than Montana's district.

I'm one of those who doesn't play such games. And I would have thought it was "D".
