It's clearly necessary gerrymander time!



Should be 8-2, at least using 2008 numbers. The south sound districts can swap territory if need be.

That's almost exactly the map that I usually draw.

Recreated it. Shift the 1st and 2nd surplusses to the 8th, the 6th and 7th surplusses to the 9th, the 5th surplus to the 4th, then create the 10th from the 3rd, 4th, 8th and 9th.





Eww..

Most people that I've seen when I've gone over the pass are either in semis or going on trips. Then again, I've never gone over it in the early morning, though I have around rush hour in the evening before. There's a few more cars, but its usually pretty sparse (barring construction or something).

According to the 2000 census about 8% of Kittitasian workers work in King County.

Here is an interesting trivia.  There are two counties in Washington where the number one county of employment is not the county of residence.  What are the two counties.

Really? I didn't see any.

There were at least two.  One was on a state border, the other across a river from a bigger town.  It's still true in 2009.

There are two different spreadsheets, I noticed. On the second spreadsheet (the work county origin one) there weren't any. The two counties your referring to are on the first spreadsheet (Asotion and Douglas).

Has anyone tried a rabidly partisan gerrymander?

I think bgwah did a 9-1 (maybe 10-0) gerrymander once by splicing up Seattle into every district.

A good portion of that population growth in Eastern Washington was from Hispanics, fyi.

I highly doubt a new majority-minority district would even elect a minority candidate off the bat anyway. There isn't enough of any one minority group to nominate a candidate of their own volition, even if we assume racial block voting.

As I said in the other thread, the 1st and 2nd districts are absolutely disgusting. Is the 1st even contiguous at Medina?

Spokane wasn't carved up nearly as badly as I feared it might be.
