Official Re-Districting Thread for Governors only

[Peter]

Since K1 only got the approval of 3 of the governors, then it comes down to a two way contest between J and K and J was preferred over K by 3  with K preferred over J by only 2, so I'm assuming that J is the plan we've adopted.

...

And if that's not good enough for the Attorney General, I'll switch my preference to J, just so we get this over and done with.

I think you've miscounted:
K was preferred over J by Ernest, MAS and NickG.
J was preferred over K by Wildcard and ILV

Thats only a 3-2 margin, and would require one of the J governors to change, or two of the K governors to change.

It sounds like Nick and Ernest are willing to change, so it would be 4-1 for J which is a constitutional margin.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Yup, I miscounted.  My mistake.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

What is the primary objection to K1?  I drew it up as a compromise between J and K, and it moves very few states.

I know the reason why Wildcard doesn't like K1, but I don't know why he has that reason.

[MAS117]

So are we  just voting on either Plan K or Plan J?

[The Dowager Mod]

All the way with "J"!!!

[Peter]

I've spoken to both ILV and MAS via AIM; Neither are willing to budge.

Could either both Ernest and NickG change their vote OR could Wildcard change his vote so that this can come to a resolution please.

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

I'm think I am leaning more toward J now than K, but I haven't really heard any arguments for why one is better than the other or either is better than K1.

My objections to K are that is creates a very strange looking D3 and D5, and generally changes more than necessary from the status quo.  My objection to J is that it creates a strange, sprawling D2, that includes Virginia with New England, but not Vermont.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

K balances the population between the districts fairly well.  Trying to achieve a better balance betwen the districts would require even more convolutions.  If J moved VT to D2, it wouldn't be constitutional as D2 would then have 30 voters while D3, D4, and D5 all have 25 voters and gven the current distribution, 4 is the maximum difference we can have.  (In practice, the current constitutional limits boil down to a 3 voter difference if the number of voters is a multiple of 5 and a 4 voter difference if the number ain't a multiple of 5.)

I am willing to switch my vote to K if that means we can finally end the redistricting process.

[MAS117]

I am willing to switch my vote to K if that means we can finally end the redistricting process.

Ok then good.
