New Voter Map

[Peter]

Last updated: 25 June, 2005



Above is the distribution of voters who voted in the last election - the basis of the federal census, and thus redistricting. The federal census will be finalised at noon on Friday 1st July - Since True Dem has told me that he will be away, I suppose I will be doing the finalising.

For those of you who care, there are four more voters on the rolls who will not be included on the map:
Afleitch (WA)
AuH2O (SC)
Huck Finn (NY)
Ben (VA) - just registered
Clay (GA)

Anybody who wants to fill the gaps, feel free.

Total population: 111 (by my count)
Ideal districts: 4 22s, 1 23

Well, 111 is exactly how many people voted, so thats right.

1 23

New York, PA, New Jersey anyone?

Impossible under contiguity rules - the rest of New England would be too far from MD and VA to link up with them

Miss Catholic has been deleted from the voter rolls as well.

Blue East - 21
Grey - 24
Green - 22
Red - 21
Blue West - 23

This map is mostly about keeping as close to what we presently have as is reasonable.

I think its monumentally important to keep Opebo in with the South.

Please note that my earlier proposal went crazy and for some reason had 11 voters in NY instead of the actual 9.

You can just use the map generator function Akno, you just have to know which bits of the code to play around with.

There's one or two numerical problems with the map that I seem to remember.  I'll point them out later, when I get around to it, but they won't really affect the numbers.

One is that Georgia has only 3 voters.  I distinctly remember this.

This is because Jake is actually in SC not in GA as listed on the SoFA list. That must have been the only state where I didn't check the names. Oh well.

Ernest's numbers will end up being incorrect: The particulars of how the census is carried out have changed under the new Constitution. Only persons who voted in the last election will be counted in the census on 1st July.

People can still take into consideration the other 4 voters in existence, but they won't count in working out whether a map meets the constitutional population requirements.

[Peter]

I have just checked the voter registrations for the past few weeks back to the beginning of the month. I am now relatively confident that I have an accurate voter map:

The latest change is jfern moving from MN to CA, and my frontpage map has been updated to reflect this.

Present voter breakdown by parties:

Independent - 20
ILP - 18
CUP - 18
ACA - 14
FLP - 12
Freedom - 9
SAP - 5
Libertarian - 4
FEC - 4
Communist - 2
UL - 2
MRLP - 2
One-man shows - 5

icemann regisitered in DC iirc; do you have him?

32 posts. Even if he had all 50, he didn't vote in the last election and thus doesn't count for the census.
