Dave's Redistricting App

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I took a stab at this. However I will warn, it was done in the wee hours of the morning.






1. Is very similar but more compact. Majority Black
2. This is probably illegal because its not Majority black but its fairly close (42 b 35 W)
3. Basically the old 13thAs long as KP and Flyers are still in it, thats all I care about it.
4. A more compact 8th, all of Bucks.
5. The old 15th
6. Meet the new sixth, only slightly better then old one.
7. Pretty much the same probably a little more of Chester then before.
8. The old 16th. Not that much change
9. Holden's new seat, still a 54% or McCain seat. He should be fine
10. Stretched Westward slightly. About the same partisanship as before.
11. Stretched more to West and slightly less Dem.
12. The old 19th
13. Pittsburg, 62% Obama or so.
14. The old 9th and part of the old 12. 55%-59% Republican
15. The old 18th, about 53%-54% Republican.
16. The old 5th stretched SW to Westmoreland County.
17. The old 4th stretch to Westmoreland County.
18. The old 3rd stretched to Westmoreland.

I wasn't planning on splitting Westmoreland five ways but it was the first composition that gave the 17th and 18th enough people, and it was 4:00 AM . The largest deviations in population were the 17th and 18th of 1,100 and 1,900. All the others were under 1,000.

The biggest problem was that once the districts got so large and diverse, the Partisan data got shooved off the display bar so many of these are guesses. This was espeically troublesome in the Philly districts. Is there a way to fix that?

I actually got DRA 2.2 to load on my slow connection finally, but I keep getting this Async Error everytime I try to load a state after selecting which data to use. It happens on every state, and all three data types. It is happening on both my new and old computers. Has anyone experienced this before?

This is obviously a sick attempt by the NY political insiders to reduce the number of private plans submitted so their terrible ideas will be all there is. $10K bet that they hacked the site.


I finally get the time to put my nefarious plans into action with something newer then 1.0 (I got 2.1 working last week), and they all quit.

I am trying to load Kentucky in version 2.1, and the bar won't got beyond 3/4ths completion. I have tried this about 3 or 4 times on differenct days, across two and half weeks and it always stops at 75%. Do I need to clear my cache or something like that?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

So far, I haven't been able to load 2.2 on my connection.

I remember in late 2008 there was a redistricting game that someone had linked to on the forum and after playing all the scenarios through, I said it would be great if they had something like this to do the real states and maps with. And people thought it would be pointless at the time.


Now we are to a point where DRA 2.5 is now considered a legacy product.

Well, then is there plans for a DRA 3.0 on something other than Silverlight?
