Citizens' Redistricting Proposals

So?
you have to miss more than one election to be ineligable.

                               Amendment     XVI
"Any registered voter who fails to vote in elections for eight months for which he is qualified to vote shall have his registration no longer considered valid. The said voter may only be deregistered after missing four federal elections, not including runoffs and special elections. A vote in a special election or runoff will be counted towards activity the same as a vote in a regular federal election. This clause shall not be construed to deny a forum user the right to register anew."

You are still a registered voter, but the census only counts those who have voted in the latest Presidential election.

Pretty ing stupid since it removes my say so in who represents me.

I agree - we need to amend this.

We just came a handful of votes to getting rid of the redistricting process all together.

I'm not sure anyone especially cares, but of the maps currently under consideration by our five governors, I endorse Map B.

MAP B

District 1 (Blue): 10
District 2 (Orange): 11
District 3 (Red): 11
District 4 (Green): 10
District 5 (Yellow): 11

The reasons are twofold.  One, it provides a significant departure from the region-based Senate map.  Two, it keeps Earl and I in separate districts.

Consider it, instead, a way for the Pacific to hold 4 Senate seats instead of just 2.
